Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Online intern, which had to watch several learning sessions about the company as well as work on a case study. The case study required to work in a team and meet an EY employee and EY mentor.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
As we were not exposed to client information we did not feel like we were given much responsibility. Arguably some responsibility stemmed from doing a case study presentation but mostly the internship was not very engaging. On a positive side this allowed students to have a good life work balance
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
We have received a lot of support from the mentor and case study supervisor, which was extremely helpful. However, case study information as well as information regarding learning sessions came late or at the last minute, which felt rather disorganised.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Company culture appealed to me. The interns who participated alongside seemed extremely friendly and thoughtful. The EY team appeared the same way, it was a real pleasure to meet everyone. Moreover, you could clearly see that the company cares about their team as well as other important issues such as diversity, sustainability etc.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Overall it was a pleasant experience. I did enjoy hearing more about the company and getting to know my team. A major disadvantage was that other interns and I felt that we are unaware of what everyday work of a graduate student would look line in the service line. The case study work did not resemble what we would actually do on the job. Therefore, we all felt that we are going into graduate role a little blind sided.
