The Role
It was a great indsight into the industry
I was treated as part of the team and as if I was a full time worker
My objectives provided me with clear goals and the constant feedback from jobs allowed me to keep track on where I was to reaching my targets for the internships
At times I had nothing to do as tasks available could only be done by more senior memebers of staff.
I was given the responsibility of co ordinating my own time and finishing specific tasks in the audit.
The hard and soft skills that I developed would stick with me for life
The Company
Atmosphere was pleasant however I was very rarely in the office
The internship was organised very well with regular catch up meetings and schedule for jobs
They invested alot of time into training me on the job.
I am looking to transfer office so having a partner interview in my choosen office
The Culture
Yes
Claimed alot of travel back through expenses
Didn't go out
No social events were put on out of hours
