The Role
The varied experience and insight into many of the Finance functions was a great way to make my placement wortwhile and interesting.
One of the benefits of working within a large organisation like such is receiving the opportnity to meet many different people. I always felt like a valued member of the team and was given the same level of responsibility as any other staff.
It was great to work in an environment where my views were appreciated, especially as my requests to gain experiences in other areas of Finance were welcomed and dealt with.
A peak period for the Finance department was towards the end of the month, and this is the time that I would be very buy as the department has adeadline to report figures to France (head office). At other times, I feel I had the right balance of work, with a mixture of project based and day-to-day tasks.
I experienced great work loads at times which came with a considerable amountof responsibility. This is extremely common when working in any Finance division.
An insight into the real working world is definitely amazing,. In addition to the development of my accounting knowledge, this year helped me to develop some general yet essential skills on how to succeed when working in business, such as communication and inter-personal skills. These will prove to be very helpful at University ad beyond.
The Company
The office had a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, I found it very easy to settle in.
Overall, the scheme was very well organised and planned.
The placement included an induction session and some training days, which were very helpful. The training modules were extremely beneficial with insigts into delivering presentations at a professional level, team working and motivation in general.

Great company to work with! Supporting in every way, and invest in graduates in terms of training and time.
The Culture
This was a great opportunity to come together with students in the same position as myself, yet with different experiences and work placements within the organisation.
Coventry is a lovely place to live, quite easy to get around ad not too expensive either!
Nighlife is not too bad, although Birmingham is not too far away.
There were many opportunities, such as family fun days and otehr similar activities.
