    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I enjoyed the large amount of content within the programme. The 2 day event was well structured with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and identify the most suitable service line.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • The event had a good number of students (roughly 100) which was enough to meet plenty of other students, whilst also allowing me to feel valued.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Due to the type of event, there were not mentors or anything similar. However employees were available to network with at the social event, at the end of the first day. This provided further opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance outside of the event itself.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The digital disruption event was highly relevant to my studies and beyond. I would have preferred more focus on the ‘digital’ and ‘technology’ service lines, rather than a general overview of all service lines available.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The event was well structured. I particularly enjoyed the technology showcase, and ‘Hackathon’. Although more time should be allocated to the showcase rather than on presentations from different employees.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The location and venue was suitable. I felt comfortable speaking to other students during activities and over lunch. I was well catered for in terms of refreshments and lunch.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • This event allowed me to understand the application of emerging technologies, particular from gaining an insight into the EYX team. Although the event was not focused on personal development, as it was only a 2 day event.

    3/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • Much of the first day was spent understanding what a full time role would be like. Day 2 involved a panel Q&A to further appreciate what a role at EY entails.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • I learned that culture is very important at EY, so it was good to understand how this impacts work-life balance and the lifestyle I can expect at EY

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • The content was well varied, but for students who already know of the path they would like to take, much of the presentations received were irrelevant.

    3/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Travel expenses covered. Hotel provided for students whose journeys exceed 1.5hrs.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Plenty of networking opportunities were provided at the social event and during refreshments breaks.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • I enjoyed the social event and refreshments.

    3/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • I learned of the different opportunities available, such as cooking classes and sports teams that employees are part of.

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Highly recommended, especially for those interested in emerging technology.
