The opportunities here are fantastic and unlike anywhere I have worked before. The training is fantastic and the people are also very helpful and have great attitudes.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?
  • Display all you experiences no matter how breif as they will help paint a picture of you. Be honest in them also as an employer will see through you if you dont. Research the company and try to give an honest view of who you are as a person. Look carefully int which service line would suit you best, this is very important as they are all so different.
