Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
We monitor and manage everything from anti‑money laundering to cyber security threats for organisations across Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa. By combining expert knowledge with the latest technology, we help clients navigate ever‑changing global regulations and the impact they can have on their business.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy the variety of work on offer. Every project we work on is different to the last! I also enjoy the balance of university as well.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I've gained telephony skills in my limited time at EY which has definitely in-turn improved my confidence and communication skills. I have also completed various internal training to gain various new skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
At the current moment, the programme hasn't been particularly well organised or structured however I believe this is a result of the pandemic and the challenges of working from home.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from EY whether it's project work or University work, there's always someone to talk to! Regular meetings with my counsellor are beneficial as well.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
University have been very helpful in a challenging time starting. They provide a variety of extra sessions as well for various skills that aren't specific to our course, like referencing, critical writing e.t.c.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I believe my qualification helps me improve better as it helps me to understand my role in EY more and inspires and guides me to be a better leader.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There are various virtual events available at EY however it is rather challenging at the moment to run any extra-curricular activities with the pandemic!
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
Why?
There are many reasons on why I recommend EY but the main one is the values of EY. EY aims to create a better working world by completing meaningful and purposeful work. Something which I felt I could contribute to.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?
Do your research but most importantly relax and be yourself!
