What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was fantastic to hear from so many people within EY who worked at all different levels within the business, from recent graduates to managing partners, it gave a real insight into the firm as a whole. I felt like there was a good mix of formal and informal sessions and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

Company Culture

How would you rate business leader involvement during the insight
5/5
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Fantastic company culture! This seemed to shine through every employee in the firm in the way they talked about the business. We not only learnt about our work, but also ways to keep healthy outside of work and ways to volunteer and stay active at EY. The quiz element of the internship allowed us to gel with the team in a more relaxed atmosphere and the working culture was incredibly friendly and welcoming!
