Looking for answers

There are several ways to find out more about our process and programs. 

If you’re looking for answers about our student opportunities:

• We regularly attend and host events, so you get the chance to meet people who are currently on our programs, as well as those with more experience of working at EY. See which ones we’re attending here.

• Check our website for student opportunities as well as information about our programs and tips for applying.

Another idea is to meet with your university careers advisor or talk to your lecturers or peers. They’re likely to have some insights on EY and some of them may even have been on one of our programs themselves. 

You can visit the Apply here page to see the student programs that are open. Each program’s application dates may be different, so make sure you check the dates for the program you are interested in.

There are internship and job scams that may involve an individual representing themselves as an employee of EY. They may use fake LinkedIn, Google+ or other social media and emails to contact you. Here are some common warning signs to look out for:

• EY will never initiate contact with you via text message. 
  
• EY will never ask you for money for training, classes, equipment, software, etc.
  
• Legitimate EY professionals have email addresses ending in @ey.com or @au.ey.com. If someone claiming to be an EY professional or recruiter contacts you with an unsolicited internship or job offer and it seems suspicious, ask to be contacted via an EY corporate email account.
  
• Be cautious of emails with grammatical and spelling errors.
  
• The only way to apply for a position at EY is through our online applicant tracking system, which is accessible only from the student and experienced pages of ey.com.
  
• All of our current roles are advertised on our job search page.

We understand that success is broader than what you achieve at the office. For many, family will always come first. That's why we support one another in achieving life balance, in reaching our personal goals, and keeping our personal commitments. We aim to be a flexible and understanding employer.

If you need to discuss flexible working options, we’re happy to find solutions that will work for us both. The key is communicating often with your team and supervisor and remaining flexible. We understand how having these options can make a real difference to your professional and personal success.

When you apply for a role, you may have the option to nominate a preference to work in either the Financial Services Sector Organisation (FSO) or Core Consulting.

In our Core Consulting business, you’ll have access to clients across multiple industries, so you’ll get broad experience as you work across different business sectors. We mainly work with government and public sector, and consumer clients. We’re a global business so while you’ll focus on clients within New Zealand, you’ll also have opportunities to work across other geographies where possible.

In FSO, you’ll work with a diverse range of clients within the financial services industry across Insurance, Banking, and Capital Markets, and Wealth and Asset Management. You will be part of our talented FSO team with a wide range of financial services experience both locally and globally in key growth areas including risk and regulation, technology, customer and growth, strategy and business transformation, financial performance, IFRS 17, open banking, sustainability, cybersecurity, actuarial, and data and analytics. With our deep industry knowledge and experience, we are committed to providing professional services and support to our clients in the financial services sector to help them address some of their most complex challenges.

You own your career at EY, but developing it is a mutual commitment. You're responsible for telling us your aspirations, and through LEAD we’ll work out your developmental needs. As well as that, we offer a supportive, team-oriented and learning environment that will help you become a highly competent and successful professional. You’ll have lots of career options and wherever possible, we try to be flexible so you can balance the demands of work with your personal life.

We ask that in return, you take responsibility for your professional and personal growth and for giving your best, every day.

It’s diverse and inclusive. EY offices are full of individuals with a variety of backgrounds and opinions united by a shared set of values. You’ll find lots of groups and networks built around interests ranging from hobbies, sports and creative or intellectual pursuits, to volunteer and support groups. Regardless of your background or areas of interest, you'll find colleagues who share them.

Our aim is to bring together the right people to create the best teams that give EY clients the exceptional service they expect.

When we talk about diversity, we’re referring to the mix of people we have and when we speak of inclusiveness, it’s about how we make the most of that mix. It's about welcoming diverse viewpoints, and about how this leads to making better decisions for us and for EY clients.

That’s why we encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, abilities and experiences. It creates a rich and diverse culture – one that can help you learn, develop and achieve your goals.

We also believe in developing our people's cultural awareness and skills. We help them to be aware of their own assumptions, frames of reference and behaviours. It’s one more way of developing great soft-skills and a global mindset. 

The workforce around the world is becoming more diverse than ever. We've therefore created an environment in which all people feel valued, are part of the community and are able to perform at their best. Wherever possible, we break down barriers. By having a more diverse business, we can better engage with clients across all demographics in a global economy.

We recognise our responsibility to reduce our impact on the environment and we also see sustainability as an important business issue for EY clients.

On a global basis, we measure our carbon footprint and find ways to reduce it by: 

• Locating our offices in buildings that meet the highest standards for sustainability 

• Reducing the need for overseas travel, using video and teleconferencing instead 

On an individual level, you can join one of the eco-teams in our offices that promotes responsible practices, or contribute your time to a charity or organisation that benefits the environment.
