Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Fantastic insight opportunity. Incredibly valuable to learn about work at EY from employees, learning about service lines and receiving practice experience for Assessment Centres for the internships and grad jobs
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The placement was largely focused on preparation for life in EY in general, with a section specifically focused on Service lines insight from an employee. Gave a good general insight into work life, but did come in expecting more insight/engagement on the specific service line I applied to
