    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The whole insight into the audit process was amazing. Meeting new people from all walks of life was also a plus point.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Being an intern with zero prior knowledge, it was pretty hard to be entrusted with certain tasks at the beginning. However, towards the end of the internship, I was being given bigger and more important tasks which was great.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The support was amazing. I came with a million questions and I am glad they were all answered.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was kept relatively busy. I was given tasks to complete daily. However, with summer being the less busy season, there were times when I was left with no work.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Like I said above, being an intern with zero prior knowledge, it was pretty hard to be entrusted with certain tasks at the beginning. However, towards the end of the internship, I was being given bigger and more important tasks which was great.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Gained loads of social skills and definitely sharpened my excel & powerpoint skills.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Everyone was really friendly and relaxed, there was good banter as well.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • With summer being the not so busy season, there was one week where I was unbooked. HR was very helpful though throughout the entire process.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • When I was unbooked, I explored the training that was available online. I was amazed by the amount of training available with different levels of depth which was pretty good.
