    The Role

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

    • Work was vaired, I got to travel around the country working on different clients. A couple of times the clock did drag on a bit, but that was mainly when I had nothing to do

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

    • People tried to give me as much as possible and always thanked me for my work

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

    • They were willing to explain work to me, and answer my questions when I asked

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

    • Mostly working 9-6 occasionallyy 9-7 and for one week I didn't really have much to do.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was put on many clients and was reponsible for my own tasks- which obviously were reviewed but same as other employees.

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

    • My degree isn't Finance related but I learn general excel, timekeeping organisation etc.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • I wasn't in the office much. But my department did have an away day and summer party whilst I was there (but I was told this was rare)

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The start of the internship involved a 2 day training course. But when we returned to the regional offices, I heard very little from the grad recruitment staff.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There is lots of training and people out there to help you on your way, you just need to be prepared to ask.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They offer a final internship if you pass the internship- so will need to wait and see!

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I lived at home and had to travel large distances so didn't take part in any activities out of work (note these were all organised by interns themselves not KPMG)

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • As said I lived at home- this is becuase London is SO expensive to live in

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Again- living 2 hours away from the office is a chore- but london is great for everything if you are living near work

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There are some clubs eg running. sailing but unfortunately no climbing or photography, which are the activites I do outside of uni. If I were to join however I could set a climbing club up!
