Tax Vacation Programme Review

I had an overwhelmingly positive experience that surpassed my expectations.

Colleagues made considerable effort to include me in meetings with clients and social outings, and took time to teach me some key skills.

I had a 'buddy' on hand at all times to answer any questions, and my other colleagues were always more than happy to help.

The experience enabled me to gain a real insight into how business is conducted, which has improved my understanding of business concepts in an academic context. Moreover, I've learned how to conduct myself in a professional context in order to make the best impression.

Induction and training were well structured whereas the rest of the programme was more of an 'immersive experience' of the day to day life of a graduate employee. I would like to have been involved in some more specific projects, however the programme may not be long enough to accommodate that.

Very positive, I could tell that my colleagues were happy to work for KPMG.

We had an induction day to teach us about KPMG, and 2 days of tax specific training at the Tax Business School.

This is probably the best way to gain an understanding of what it's like to work full time at KPMG.

Gave me a deep understanding of the attitudes and atmosphere within KPMG.

It confirmed that I would like to pursue a career in tax, specifically at KPMG.

I was well rewarded.

I met fellow interns and other employees on various occasions.

They were well-organised and friendly

Yes, we were informed of various 'networks' within KPMG for a wide range of activities and interests.

I would encourage anyone to participate.
