Student Review

I've found the insight days a very enjoyable experience. I really enjoyed getting to know the people on my table and building relationships with them. I also really enjoyed being in London and how professional the experience was. The exercises that we took part in were also enjoyable and expanded my knowledge.

I felt very valued. Despite it being a very big group of people, I got to know my table and table host well and felt like EY put a lot of time and effort into making the experience very useful and enjoyable. The hotel and food were also very lovely!

I felt we were given a lot of guidance/ support throughout the insight. Having a table host was especially useful as they could answer a lot of questions we had with regards to the exercises and activities we were doing and also about EY. I always felt there was someone to talk to regarding any issues.

I think the skills developed during this insight will definitely aid me during my degree. I've developed confidence and other social skills and I felt any public speaking or situations with new people will be easier in the future and those sort of situations frequently come up during my degree.

I thought the insight was extremely well structured. All staff always knew what they were doing and all of the talks were very useful. The activities also helped us develop many skills necessary to work at EY which I thought were all very well structured. It was all very professional.

I thought the general atmosphere was good. Everyone was engaged and seemed interested in EY and accounting in general. All of the staff were very friendly and seemed eager to answer any questions that we had. It never felt awkward and everyone was very friendly. Having the same table throughout the experience also helped people to build better relarionships.

I felt EY invested a lot and came up with great exercises to help us develope and prepare for a possible future career with EY. Also the fact that this event helps to fast track us to the internship is also a massive bonus and shows that they are investing in us.

I feel I have a lot more knowledge on what it's like to work at EY after this insight. I feel a lot more knowledgeable on the different service roles and the many different jobs available within EY. I got to talk to a range of people to help gain this knowledge. The speed networking helped with this.

The insight day really helped me understand the people culture of EY. It was really emphasized throughout the insight which I think is really important as it's a huge selling point of EY and is one of the reasons I would consider applying for them over some other firms in the big four.

It was fairly valuable in helping me decide on my career path. I'm still not sure whether I want to go into accounting but I'm definitely considering it as a career option and I've left with a positive attitude towards it because of this event. I'm looking forward to pursuing it further.

I was reimbursed for travel but as I do not live that far away I did not get free accommodation. The travel was fine and it was an easy hotel the find. It was nice to have travel reimbursed and made the insight day more appealing as we didn't have to pay anything for it.

There were lots of opportunities for networking and meeting a large range of employees. For example the speed networking event was extremely useful for that and I got to talk to a very large range of employees from all different departments. We also had talks from people of many different departments.

Good but I didn't go to the social as I was unwell.

Yes I found out about the different opportunities at EY for outside of work activities. These included different volunteering opportunities such as for the EY womens network which would definitely be something that I am really interested in. There are also many other volunteering opportunities and it seems like a very social company.
