    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I really enjoyed the insight as it really opened up my knowledge about the different sectors to work at KPMG. The networking event was also very useful to meet new graduates and I really enjoyed it. However I feel like the meal portions were very little and I got hungry very easily after the meals. However I feel like for the networking, we should have gotten staff with much more experience and some questions I needed answered, I couldn't get them answered as the graduates weren't as experienced.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Everyone was made to feel valued, however I feel like the instructors knew us generally, but not personally, but it's okay as it was just two days and the programme wasn't really very long.
