Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The first week involved a lot of nationwide company training. We began by learning about the company and its policies, then moving into more service line specific training. By the beginning of the second week, I had met the team I would be working with for the duration of the insight and they had began setting me tasks. Every morning started with a team meeting, where tasks were assigned and explained for the day.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Although specific to the service line, EY provided lots of information about what the business is like and how it is run. They made it clear the pathways the company offers, and how there is an opportunity to grow and move through the company. They additionally made it clear how they understand that many people move on to different roles and how they can support your development to be able to do this.
