    The Role

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

    • Had a mixed experience. In 2 out of 3 weeks in Audit I wasnot given much work, so was rather frustrated and bored. Appreciate thsi is due to being on a client site with no training. In Tax, there were many more people to give me work

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

    • Could not do a wide variety of jobs due to lack of training wich would come when joining for real. Did quite a lot of printing, alongside more interesting jobs.

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

    • They were happy to answer any questions I had and tried to explain any queries in a way I could understand.

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

    • Would have liked more work to do, especially in Audit.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • On some jobs I had a lot of responsibilty on certain tasks, requiring client contact. Other tasks I felt like I had little responsibility, when just copying over numbers.

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

    • Learned how to use microsoft office software better, which will be useful when finishing my degree project. If I joined for real, would recive proper training.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Varied throughout my timein Audit. Had to get to know new people every week. Was easier in Tax as I wasin one place the whole time.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • There was some confusion as to who I was in my 3rd week in Audit. Also thought that we didn't have enough time in the 2nd rotation before having to make the decision regarding which service line we wanted to apply for.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Training was limited apart from a basic overviewof how to use the software. This would come in more detail if I joined for real. My collegues were happy to help my understanding and development throughout the placement.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Hoping to have an interview soon, of which it has been said a majority of people get a job from.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Had drinks on a few evenings. Got to know them very well over the induction weekend and had a couple of subsidised evenings/meals.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Was living at home during placement. Socialising is more expensive than I amused to from Uni, but not unreasonable.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Had a great time. Leeds has a good nightlife, though didn't experiance it to the full extent during the placement.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Going on an away day tomorrow. And had a couple of subsidised evening drinks sessions.
