Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
As a data analyst I prepare data, process it based on specific requirements and then pass on the finished product to another team so that it is used to help understand certain aspects of a job with a client.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy my programme to a greater extent as I have been able to find out how to work with a team, and I have developed my skills through the use of different technologies.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt new skills involving excel, pivot tables, data manipulation and how to use a software called alteryx where most of the data cleansing and processing takes place.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The induction for the programme was informative, afterwards the training and support we were provided were built to be able to fulfill our needs as we learnt on the job.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have a buddy, counsellor and a supervisor, all there to help me and provide support whether it be with any personal issues, work related advice, or help with the technical aspects of my job.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
There is a great array of online resources given to us from our training provider. On top of this there is an online forum where common questions can be answered publicly, and my training provider coach is always there to help me when I need it.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
I have not really been able to incorporate any of the theory that I have learnt in my qualification within my role so far.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are many social activities and networking events that are held by my company, as well as counselling days which are fun as we get to meet the entire team we work with.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Amazing working environment with really friendly people. You are supported well throughout training and with regular day-to-day work.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?
Research a lot about the company's values and mission. Then see if your own values align with those of EY's. Based on this you can make an informed decision on whether or not you would be a good fit in a role working for EY.
