Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The summer internship job at EY was really interesting and gave me a chance to understand my job options. I really liked the work and the placement started with an intro event where I learnt about the firms values, community work and day to day job info. This was followed by a placement in the business in the Tax division I did some client work and solo learning assignments. There was lots of chance to learn and develop
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I took on a lot of responsibility during my summer role. I was given projects to work on by myself also some single learning assignments and team work. I was given lots of support and the teams around me helped answer my questions and encouraged me to ask lots of questions. I felt able to do the work because of the good support alongside the good level of responsibility afforded to me in the placement

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Definitely yes, in the Tax role I learnt a lot about the work a Tax professional does, and more about EY and future opportunities on the Grad scheme. This helped build my knowledge and convert to a senior permament role in the application process. It was great working with new people and I liked getting to know the other interns. All the people were friendly and made me feel like I was making a worthwhile difference

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
This was also very good. I liked working with different teams and meeting new people and and there was a good atmosphere between everyone. the firm was professional and sensible which wasn;t a big surprise, but also had lots of younger people and we were chatty and friendly during the work as well as in events around the side. The firm are big but I didn;t feel small. I would say this was a good area too

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to EY
I wasnt sure which firm to apply to but having applied to EY and been on the placement I think it is a good place to apply to. I would give the advice to consider which area to work in because there were more openings in different areas which looked interesting too and more areas in the Graduate openings, which are worth thinking about too. I used the EY website and this was very good
