    The Role

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

    • I had a really enjoyable few weeks at the company, mainly down to how welcome I was made to feel.

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

    • Colleagues said thank you for the work I'd completed and I really felt like a positive addition to the audit team.

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

    • Every question I asked was answered above and beyond what I expected, felt like colleagues were keen for me to learn.

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

    • There was always work to do but I was never too busy. I thought an internship might involve just making the tea but I was given actual work to do to help with the audit!

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

    • Fair amount, I was given the same work as a first year graduate.

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

    • Built up some networking skills and adaptability because as soon as I had got comfortable at a client/with an audit team, it was time to change, this pushed me out of my comfort zone a little but was valuable. However, audit is not that related to my degree!

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Good atmosphere in the audit teams as well as extra drinks/social activities

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

    • The only issue was that it was a little short and it would have been good to rotate to another department.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Training, hoodies, stay in a hotel with meal and drinks.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I've been offered a graduate position with them!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Social laid on for the interns, invited to office drinks and to team drinks for one of the clients.

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

    • Centre of Birmingham so standard big city prices, although most of the social aspects were paid for already which was a great bonus!

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

    • Good-Birmingham city centre.

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

    • Yes but only a short internship really.
