Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There were various speakers talking into EY’s purpose, values and culture. They also gave us tips on how to integrate into a professional environment and how to feel confident in doing so. We had a mock assessment centre on the second day.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
They told us about all the sub service lines under the assurance service line which is what I applied for. I am also aware of the other service lines. Overall, I got a comprehensive overview of what paths I can access.
