Overview
In office everyday, working alongside the team to be assigned and also seek out work. This includes projects, presentations and assisting on client work. There are also opportunities for further digital learning, to shadow on client calls, and to arrange meetings with EY employees for further insight. Technology risk work at EY encompasses IT audit work and client interaction.
Skills
Skills developed include; communication, technical skills, presentation/speaking skills, excel, team-working, evidence reviewing, and IT knowledge. There are a few audit/IT platforms used, some unique to EY, that you will gain experience with.
Responsibilities
You are given a reasonable amount of responsibility for client work, expecting quality, timely work. There is a lot of responsibility for you in finding the work and engaging with the team, it鈥檚 on you to reach out to people and introduce yourself.
Support & Guidance
The team and your personal counsellor and buddy are very supportive. They are happy to answer questions when you have them or to point you to someone who can answer them if they are unable to. Everyone is very supportive being open to helping you understand work or gain insights into the role. You are not expected to know everything when you arrive, and everybody understands when you make a mistake or are confused about something, as long as you show interest and willingness to learn.
Culture
The company culture is great, as it鈥檚 only a 1 month internship, there鈥檚 a limited amount of activities you can get involved with, but as a full time employee there are plenty of opportunities and groups with shared interest e.g. sport, film etc. The atmosphere in the office is quite good, however often people work from home so can be a little quiet in your team.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship and I came out having learned a lot about the company, role, and plans for the future.
Yes
Make sure you pick a service line you have a genuine interest in as you will not be able to change between them and you need to have a real willingness to learn and develop. If you bring this attitude, you can really get a lot out of your time there.
