Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was involved in a wide variety of work, from going on client calls, writing up reports, and working on excel. On a day-to-day I would generally be working on a specific piece of work throughout the day interspersed with various calls.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was treated like any other member of the team, with the same responsibilities and opportunities.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
5/5

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt a huge amount, firstly about how an organisation like EY operates (ie. the breakdown of work, how different teams cooperate for clients etc.). I have also learnt a great deal about employment tax, with very little knowledge going in. The team were super kind and generous with their time to help me learn as much as I could about the area. My Excel skills have also definitely improved.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Everyone I met was very warm and welcoming. We all sat together on an open floor, so you could be sitting next to a Partner - there was no sense of hierarchal pressure.
