VinUni faculty and students responded enthusiastically. They posed many exciting questions to EY, such as:

• Why did EY change the slogan from “Quality in Everything We Do” to “Building a better working world”?
• What makes EY’s employees so engaged and loyal? Have they ever thought of switching jobs?
• Can students, who didn’t study Accounting, secure an internship at EY?
• Why does EY need so many computer engineers with expertise in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence?
• Can the first-year students go for an internship yet? Or they have to wait until the third year like other schools?
• What lessons can EY experts share with students?
