Summer Intern Review

Each project you were put in was interesting, but even if you didn’t enjoy it you had the freedom to switch to another one that better suits you

Team members were also ready to help and wanted to help most times. They made me valued as a team member rather than just an intern

My pastoral and educational point of contact was also open for to meet. Never felt as though I was left to flounder by myself

Days fluctuate in busyness, but you always have the opportunity to make yourself busy. Be it engaging with other members of EY to support their work or utilising the online bank of learning resources

Although I was given large amounts of responsibility, a lot of it did feel like “intern work” but that is understandable. Never fulfilling the stereotypical making coffees or printing tasks though. The work still did feel like it had an impact.

With the different learning opportunities, one is able to improve themselves as much as they can. There are thousands different courses available to the individual so the amount of training you receive is purely down to you. There are compulsory courses, but most actively go out and try other courses to learn more.

It’s a very relaxed culture. If you get the work done, they don’t mind how you do it. Of course as an intern there’s no real opportunity for working from home. Every person I met was friendly, be it in the office or for after work drinks.

All well organised and never felt left behind. There was always a point of contact, and numerous preplanned events and socials for the internships.

Providing access to many different mediums to learn, felt as though the company wanted you to learn.

Very appealing. The general career progression seems good with vertical movements seemingly quite often with good work.

There’s a lovely culture around meeting after work for drinks. It provides a far nicer way to better connect with not only your team but also other members from EY. With social events, although fewer than previous years, arranged by EY there is a good time to socialise in a casual environment.

Canary Wharf is very expensive, but a lot of the time seniors buy the drinks. But because it’s london it’s easy to move to a cheaper area

Again, because it’s located in London there’s options everywhere be it expensive or cheaper

There are opportunities to join work sports teams
