Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at EY?

I have had a really great experience. The community here is fantastic and plenty support is given to help balance work and studies. It can be fast paced (due to the nature of the job), but guidance and help is always available.
There's also many things going on in the year, so I can always get involved with things and have fun.

Preparing workbooks. Testing and auditing.

4/5
Definitely paid more than most plus great perks and benefits. Bonuses are always a plus.

There's a very strong line of support. There are counsellors, your buddy as well as the resourcing team, student support team and your line manager. All play various roles and are very supportive.

How is your work-life balance?

During busy season it can be difficult to get a good work-life balance (this is the nature of the job), but outside of that busy time there is a very good balance.

The culture is inclusive and there are many societies/networks that you can get involved in.

There are many CSR initiatives and EY allows individuals many days a year to be used for CSR initiatives that either they have set up or you have found for yourself. They have giving weeks which allow for people to donate or volunteer for. They also have many outreach programmes that people can participate in.
