    The Role

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

    • My colleagues were great fun and the clients were varied. The work itself was fun during the placement although I could imagine that it could become monotonous over a longer period.

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

    • My colleagues were fantastic.

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

    • There was ample support throughout.

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

    • I felt there were periods where I was underutilised and then periods where I felt immensely busy. Although this is due to the nature of the work rather than the work set by my colleagues.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Plenty of responsibility to write up important points, run testing and lead meetings with clients. Definitely not just making cups of tea!

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

    • The skills I learned were very useful for accountancy jobs. However, perhaps less transferable to other types of jobs or my degree.

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • People in my office were good fun!

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Virtually seamless. Really well organised.

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

    • Gave me a laptop to use for the duration of the placement as well as invaluable training and experiences.

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

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

    • The internship leads to a partner interview with a high chance of gaining a permanent position.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were a few sets of drinks after work, which are always fun. Less of a club scene.

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

    • Bristol is relatively affordable

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Bristol has good nightlife. Potentially more aimed at students than young professionals. But at my age that was perfect.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Plenty of opportunities.
