Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
It was working with mainly formatting excels and learning how the IT audits they do are carried out. It involved learning about how they do both IT audit and internal technology risk consulting. It was mainly being shown different doccuments by the more senior staff
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not particularly, it was a very quite time in terms of work. As a result there wasnt a whole lot for anyone to do but it allowed me to be able to have more time to speak with more senior staff
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to EY
When you do the interview just be yourself. Don't think that in order for you to succeed everyone else has to fail. Especially in the assesment centre portion of the interview process, the people who were offered the job were the people who spoke and were expressive of their views without needing to find flaws in everyone else's opinion
