Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to EY
I wouldn't spend a lot of time worrying about whether you will fit in or whether they will like you, and worry more about whether they are right for you- you will be assigned quite a small team on your internship so it's important you consider whether you see yourself enjoying a career within your team
