    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • There was never a dull moment and no time was wasted. It was an action packed day and I was very tired by the end of it! I also thought it was really good that they divided us into four smaller groups so that we could benefit from more individual attention.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • It was a really friendly atmosphere and not the cold and corporate vibe that I might have expected. the leaders were energetic and funny. I could see that they were enjoying themselves and it gave a really good impression

    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?
  • It was at the EY offices which are really impressive. We worked with real EY staff so we got a sense of what they were like and they told us lots about how they joined the firm. We had client meetings which was some great on the job experience.

    3/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • They showed us corporate videos and explained their values and practices. While this will never perfectly mirror reality, I think that the quality of the Insight Day and the staff really gave a great first impression.
