Assurance Intern Review

All interns had an agenda to follow. Each day consisted of a mixture of live stream talks, Q&A sessions open to questions from all interns and case study sessions. Case study sessions for the Assurance service line involved working on a fake retail business and working together in small groups to create a presentation based on this business. The case study groups also worked with a buddy and a mentor for support.

Communication skills were improved as we had the opportunity to not only work with fellow interns but also EY employees from new graduate that had just joined EY to partners of the firm.

We were given a real insight into EY with many talks focusing on the firms culture as well as their focus on diversity and inclusion. There were many opportunities to ask questions and get a real feel for the firm.

The company culture is something EY really stands out for. Everyone at the firm was super friendly and happy to answer any questions. There is also a large focus on wellbeing and diversity & inclusion which creates a really welcoming atmosphere. Overall, the firm is very welcoming and friendly providing a supportive atmosphere all round.

I really enjoyed the internship, even as it got moved online due to the pandemic. EY adapted the internship very well and the opportunity to talk to employees with different roles within EY and getting to meet loads of other inters and build relationships when working together was really valuable.
