    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I felt I was intergrated well into the team both professionally and socially. The work was varied and people took the time to explain what to do and how what I was doing contributed.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • People gave feedback on pieces of work I did for my portfolio but also so that I learnt from the task. Many would email or ask me to do further work and told colleagues of my ability.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was assigned a buddy, intern manager and counsellor and felt well looked after. They share their opinions and knowledge.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Was allowed to see client side of EY's work as well as shadow partners. This gave me insight to what I would be doing on a day-to-day basis if I first join but also what I could progress to do.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Work was always checked but I was able to compile reports, run WWDC models and go to client meetings: showing responsibility

    4/5

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