    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I did not have many expectations for the insight but any that I did have were completely blown away. I am inspired to work for this company and this will definitely be an aim of mine in the future. I also feel fully prepared for the assessment centre that I will need to attend to reach the next step

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • There was a large group of us so it did not feel very personal however the effort and services provided for us were phenomenal. Some of the partners of the company even took time to come and speak to us and answer any questions that we had which was extremely valuable

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Any uncertainties were very clearly answered and no questions were off limits. I feel fully supported to go onto the next step in the company and have received so much guidance that I am actually excited for the assessment centre that I will need to attend in order to gain an internship

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I am fully aware of how each service line works and this was knowledge that I would not have gained as in depth if I had not attended this event. Therefore, I already feel at an advantage to other students who may be applying for internships at EY next summer

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Everything ran extremely smoothly and the schedules were followed to the minute. I really like the fact that we were constantly kept in the loop and aware of what was going to be expected of us. The organisers were completely in control which put me at complete ease and took any stresses away

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • There was a very positive atmosphere throughout the insight and every single worker that spoke to us, no matter how senior, was very approachable and willing to help. The other people taking place in the insight were also very friendly and were extremely easy to get on with which made the whole experience a lot easier

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The company did everything they could to make us feel special and gave us a lovely time. I felt like my presence at the event was very valued and like nothing was too hard to handle. Anything that you asked of the company could be done and I would love to work in this company in the future

    5/5

  • 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?
  • We were given many opportunities to speak to workers in the company from all different backgrounds working in all different service lines. Every single one of them was extremely positive and talked about how people are at the heart of everything the company has to offer and emphasised that the workers are a team

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • The motto "better working experience" certainly fits EY and workers are certainly put first. No problem is too large and I would feel completely a ease speaking to any employer, even if they are a partner. Also teamwork and collaboration are at the heart of EY and the relationships you build are crucial

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • I learnt more about each service line and have a strong idea of which one I would like to go into. I certainly would love to go into this company in the future and will do everything I can to achieve this- this was a goal that I did not have until I attended the event

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • All of my travel arrangements and hotel were paid for. Travel was organised prior to the event which was very useful so I was able to plan ahead. The hotel way stayed in was very very nice and I slept very well so that I could fully perform at the event


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • There was a huge opportunity to meet employees in the firm including the ability to have one on one conversations and really ask them about their experiences. This gave us a real insight into how the company works and eveyone was very happy to answer any questions that we had

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • A social was provided in the evening between the two days! This was a great opportunity to switch off and get to know the other people at the insight. It was very useful as on the final day I was fully familiar with many faces and felt completely at ease

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • To an extent, one of the employees shared with us her love of running

    3/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would 100% recommend this, I had an amazing time and am so excited to join the working world
