The Role
I really enjoyed the working atmosphere there, everyone from associate to partners were really helpful and encouraging.
Everyone was really friendly there
My progress was constantly monitored by my in charge who was more than happy to taken on any of my questions and give me further explanation to help me clear my doubts.
I was relatively busy on a daily basis but there was a good balance.
I was given the perfect amount of responsibility although it did get a bit repetitive at times.
I learnt a lot of new skills during my internship at Grant Thornton and also developed my current ones, all of which will not only help me at university but also help me build a strong foundation towards a successful career.
The Company
Absolutely loved the office atmosphere!
The internship programme was very well structured from start to finish.
There were a lot of events to give a feel of what working at GT would be like.
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
The Culture
Made some really good friends at Grant Thornton who I am still in touch with on a regular basis.
There were a lot of different activities going on outside work every week.
