The Role
I was was given complex, interesting work which made the internship really enjoyable.
I felt very included and continuously received supportive feedback.
BDO have counselling managers and buddies who help you with any issues relating to just about anything.
I was kept reasonably busy, meaning I was rarely bored or without anything to do.
I was able to attend client meetings with Senior Managers and Partners.
It has definitely massively increased my professional skills especially related to my future career choice.
The Company
Fun, supportive and engaged. Everyone has a good time whilst working hard at their job.
Introduction and conclusion days which help making new friends and learning about BDO.
We had seminar training about our relevant field, as well as Senior Managers sit down and explain different concepts.
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Very appealing. BDO is very well connected and offers a lot in the field I applied to.
The Culture
Definitely, everyone was very fun and I had a great time meeting new people.
N/A
Being in London there is almost an unlimited amount of clubs/bars t go to.
The company social network Yammer means you can join groups from squash to Love island.
