Summer Intern Review

My role was an assurance summer intern. I would attend regular team catch up calls and be coached through tasks, upon task completion I would obtain feedback that I could use to improve my work but also develop any future work. I would also have to speak to clients to obtain information that helps to develop ones professionalism and improve how to go about client engagement.

Yes, I was given work that would directly have influence in the audit process, so from the very first task upon completion of the induction I was given hands on important work. I did get constant support and guidance though that allows you to undertake the task confidently so the output is correct and of good quality.

I have develop many skills and learnt lots of new skills too. I have developed my knowledge of microsoft excel and learnt many shortcuts and formulae to allow myself to become more efficient when using the application. Furthermore, I developed the skill on how to speak to clients and colleagues in a professional setting which can be applied in any job situation.

The support provided was immense. We would be in teams working on client tasks but if my team was busy I could reach out to other colleagues in the office and everyone was willing to help. I was also able to hold more casual conversation to learn about peoples experiences at EY and about the firm which was great for this internship.

The company culture and general atmosphere was very welcoming and one that is great to work in. You can see that EY cares about its people and they are constantly asking for feedback to hear the voices of its employees to understand how to help us to develop the best environment possible.

The internship exceeded all levels of expectations that I had, from the company culture to the socials to the work I was performing. The internship has really opened my eyes about audit and EY and has allowed me to see that EY assurance is a place I would love to work for upon completion of my education.
