Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

On a day-to-day basis I am responsible for coaching the junior members of the team, liaising with client contacts and ensuring the tasks are performed timely.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

The company culture is very inclusive and supportive. My teams are constantly there to support and push me to reach my goals and full potential.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I am studying for the ACA qualification. This role has also helped to develop communication and professionalism due to the large client facing nature of the job.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

The progression of the program is very clear and structured. Exam pathways are also organised on your behalf throughout the programme to ensure that you keep on track.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

When you first join the firm you are given a buddy to support your transition into the firm/your new role. You also have a counsellor who helps you with any problems you may face and aids you in meeting any goals/career progressions.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

3/5

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

3/5

Some parts of the qualification help me in my day to day role (i.e. accounting related modules). However some modules (i.e. tax) are not relevant in my day to day role.

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

Yes there are many networking events and sports teams to get involved in. There are also social events with your engagement teams in order to socialise with your colleagues outside of work.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend EY to a friend?

Why?
