  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • The company regularly organised sessions for everyone to come together eg partner breakfasts, bowling sessions, etc. Everyone kept in touch after the internship ended.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • In terms of socialising the place was lively with loads of bars and restaurants. However, as it was central london everything was quite expensive

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Again, there were loads of pubs and clubs around considering we were in central london but very expensive.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • EY advertised loads of activities that there full time employs can undertake like sports, socials, etc however I didnt get enough time to participate.
