The Role
Thoroughly enjoyed my work placement - great people and a great organisation.
I was surprised at how valued I felt and how involved we all were.
Support was definitely available if you needed it.
Most days I was very busy, but occasionally I didn't have much to do.
I was given more responsibility then expected, which was a massive positive. We were on client sites from the get go, which made me feel very valued.
It will help me massively. I development many skills and learnt a lot. It has given me a massive insight into a career in audit.
The Company
I was rarely in my office due to being at the client, but the socials organised by the offices were very fun.
It was extremely well organised with close to no problems at all.
I personally think BDO invested a massive amount into me. I would recommend this internship to anyone who is interested in going down the accountancy route.
Company Parties/Events
This internship has definitely made me want a job with BDO.
The Culture
I have met some great people during my internship, who I will definitely keep in touch with. BDO's Early in Career team has organised and done so much for us.
It varied, depending on the location.
It had a few bars and pubs.
Yes.
