    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I really enjoyed it, was very professional and enjoyed being able to ask important female directors at KPMG questions.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I felt valued as my opinion mattered, especially in the group work.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • I felt I got adequate guidance- working virtually was difficult at some points as there wasn’t much I could do about WiFi connection, and neither could those who led the program

    3/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The assessment day was particularly important to me- it will put me in good stead for future interviews

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • It was very well structured, with times for everything and the appropriate links were sent out

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Positive atmosphere- everyone’s opinion was valued. Also it was great to do group work with other interns

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

    • They invested in me by giving me the opportunity for an internship- which they gave me!

    4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • Not very much- we did a lot of listening and not much realistic deal advisory work. We did get an insight into what employees do day to day at the firm

    3/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • As it was focussed on women in deal advisory, I could tell that KPMG are trying to be as inclusive as possible and thus are trying to be a diverse culture.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • I have decided to follow up upon this and pursue a career in deal advisory, or any role at kpmg

    3/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • I was paid very well for the three days

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Yes there was via the panels and we were encouraged to link with everyone on LinkedIN

    3/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • They were okay, we didn’t get a chance to be that personal with the employees

    3/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Not really- however this is accessible on the website

    3/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • I would recommend it- it puts your foot in the door, and gives valuable interview experience
