    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My roles consisted of looking through excel sheets to create a VBA macro to automate various tasks, there was also a lot of socializing encouraged between interns so even though we are on different tasks, we still socialized. Not much interactions outside the company, as our team did more back-end things and we didn't talk to clients often


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Yes, was able to develop my skills in Excel. Your networking skills are really encouraged to be used and developed as well.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I think since the internship was only 4 weeks long, they couldn't ring us into any projects well enough to give us enough responsibility.


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
  • 4/5

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • You get a lot of support from everyone, you get assigned an EY buddy who is most likely a graduate and so they're close to you in age and can relate to your issues. You're also assigned a counsellor who's a manager to speak to you if you have any issues.


  • How would you rate the support and guidance from your line manager?
  • 5/5

  • How would you rate the support and guidance from the wider team?

    Culture
