The Role
My placement confirmed my career choice.
Community feel, and felt fully within the team.
Always able to reach and get advice from a superior
Always had work, but not too much.
I was given enough responsibility to feel that my work really made a difference, and mattered.
Gained several life skills.
The Company
A friendly working atmosphere where everyone got along, and at the same time a lot of work was completed.
My time in Audit was seamless, however, for the couple days that I spent out of the department my time was spent completing ad hoc work.
I believe a great deal was invested to make me feel at home, and conformable with the work I was performing.
Interview and overall experience went very well.
The Culture
Several socials, contributing to the community feel.
Relatively expensive, but not too much.
Lively, and not rough.
Several chances to broaden my horizons.
