Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My daily tasks were usually assigned by the seniors on my team, and I would interact with my team daily about the agenda for the day. My responsibilities would change daily, such as moving trial balances forward to the next period, receiving and interpreting client data and creating OARs (Overall Analytical Reviews).
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given meaningful responsibility throughout the internship. There was always something else to do, which was appreciated as it meant I was busy throughout the day. I also got the opportunity to visit the client site office with the team during the internship, which was a great experience.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The support for the EY internship was great. I was given a buddy, who was my go-to for day-to-day questions. You are also given a counsellor with whom you can chat about more career development-oriented questions. We had three training days at the start, which also was a great help.

EY has a very warm company culture. It is a very people-orientated firm, and I could feel that walking through the office. They are also very flexible regarding working from home, which I thought was great. Everybody I spoke to was really lovely and willing to offer any help and guidance.
