The Role
Very friendly office.
My work was useful but unsurprisingly had to be checked before given to clients.
All the office were very supportive and willing to give as much support and adivce as needed.
There were some quiet days but that was largely because it was the quiet period for tax compliance.
A reasonable amount, visited a client one day but that was the only client facing work I did.
I do a degree in Geography so won't help with my degree particularly. But may well help in future life.
The Company
Friendly.
Was well structure with a mentor and appraisal.
Willing to explain and develop your skills and tried to give exposure to as much as possible.
Company Parties/Events
Good structure programme for trainees to gain ACA.
The Culture
Yes, invited to football tournament and went out for lunch several times as well as events at the beginning and end of internship.
Living at home.
Not much nightlife in Gatwick but like I said I was living at home in Bromley.
Yes football.
