    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Lots of support was given though being allocated a Buddy, who you can ask anything, and weekly counsellor sessions- where I was given feedback and it was the opportunity to discuss any problems/ challenges.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was always given a variety of different tasks however I probably could have been kept slightly busier- however this was challenging due to the fact that summer is slightly quieter for professional service companies.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given plenty of responsibility and treated like I was a graduate- I was certainly not just making tea!

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I have learnt will certainly assist me in my future working life- not so sure how they will assist my degree due to the nature of it- but I will remember and use everything I learnt at EY when I start my career.
