The Role
Was pretty tedious, not as good as other big 4 insight schemes
Not at all, it was a case of come in, sit down, do this then leave
Wasn't reapply applicable, it was just listening to presentations as opposed to doing work!
Was well structured days with lots of breaks
None - was just listening to presentations and going through various already completed work
Not really, I learnt more about the firm so the interview will be easier
The Company
Pretty chilled out, everyone seemed to get on and know each other well
It was really structured and preplanned, so we knew where and what we were meant to doing for every hour of the insight programme
They had obviously put alot of money and planning into it, but it didn't seem to be very effective
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
Healthcare/Dental
Got fast tracked through to assessment centre and you know so much about the firm you will get the internship
The Culture
Everyone else seemed less in the party mode than I was
Everything was covered
We didn't go out once during the insight programme
Pub visit and resterant lunches
