Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Tasks set involving testing controls, shadowing members of the team, reading through resources to strengthen knowledge on particular PRA regulations.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Over time, I was given more responsibility, being set tasks to work on independently which would be reviewed by a more senior than me member of the team. There were some tasks where I had the opportunity to complete similar tasks to what a graduate/ assistant manager was doing.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Prior to starting the internship, I received abundant support from the Intern team. Additionally, during the period, I would receive regular email correspondence updating me on expectations, required tasks, etc. Everyone in my team was extremely open to answering questions in terms of support, or speaking with me personally about their own career experiences.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Company culture was friendly, I had a few conversations by just speaking with people. Being in a large office can sometimes be overwhelming as a lot of individuals you don't know but the atmosphere was relaxed but still everyone was hard-working.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I thoroughly enjoyed it, networking with all levels of management & meeting new people was fun. Even connecting with fellow Interns felt like a community. I enjoyed the independency but would have also preferred a schedule where I could focus on a new aspect each week to make the most out of the duration.

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to EY
Do some research in what Streamline interests you the most or what caters to your skillset, but also don't limit yourself to one thing, explore other pathways. Also, make the most of your time, reach out to other people across the company who you would like to network with/ meet. Everyone is friendly and you can learn a lot by hearing from others' careers & experiences.
