  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The programme is structured OK. I understand it is a new programme so is bound to have teething problems, however on the whole it is very good. Sometimes, I feel as though it could be a bit more organised. Internally within the team I work in, it is very organised and a credit to EY.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • For my age and experience my salary/package is very good. I am very happy with how much EY pay it is competitive with the Big 4 and I have much more money than I would if I was at university which really helps you to enjoy life and work better. Travel costs are reimbursed when meeting clients and this helps a lot. However, with my role meaning I can be anywhere I would like more support when it comes to a car as the EY Car Scheme is not available to our agr group which makes owning a car, especially with insurance and running costs very expensive.

    8/10

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • EY always have opportunities outside of work, no matter what it is you're interested in they seem to have something.

  • 9b. Why?
  • EY is an amazing company to work for from my experience so far. It has a feel to it which is much different from what I get from other firms. The people, the culture and the success make it a great place to work.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?
  • Be yourself and don't be afraid to be confident in what you have acheived so far. Don't worry about the interview/assessment days as the people interviewing you will have been in the exact same sittuation one day. Do not hesitate to apply for EY as you won't regret it.
