8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There is a 5 a side football time I am a part of. There are social events but often these clash with college and training and so hard to attend.

6/10

9a. Would you recommend EY to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Good place to start career in terms of the quality of training and number of hours you have to work. But bonuses could be more generous

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?

It is hard to predict what sort of work you'll be doing as there are so many different teams/specializations within tax and you have little control on where you get placed so be prepared for anything.
