Audit intern Review

I enjoyed the experiance as a whole, managers and coworkers were brilliant, very welcoming. The experiance was fun and informative.

The main reason I felt so valued was due to the fact that they trusted me to carry out tasks with a very quick brief. They felt confident enough that I knew what to do and so left me to carry it out and without any micro management. Their feedback was largely positive and any criticism was expressed in a constructive manner, which made me feel valued.

I was well organised and people were always checking in on me to make sure that I had something to do and that I was enjoying it. That said, I never felt that people were breathing over my shoulder, which clearly I wouldn't have responded well to.

The only reason I was ever not busy was due to the technical nature of some of the work, and since I had no training in the accountancy field this prevented me from doing some work.

I was given real work that was going towards real audits. That said, all work was checked over, according to company policy.

Definitely it made me realise what career path I will be talking following university.

Everyone was very friendly and I always felt very included. That said, the office was often very empty. I think this is for two reasons: The first is that I did my internship over a period where a lot of people were taking holidays. Also, because the office is predominantly audit staff, many were out at clients' sites the majority of the time.

Very well organised there was lots of communication between myself and the HR department. I knew in advance what I would be doing each day and there was even the possibility to participate in corporate responsibility days before the beginning of my placement.

All interns were sent on a training course at the company's training centre. I was very impressed that the company was investing so much time and money into its interns as early on as they were. I think this speaks volumes for the company's commitment to training, and its internship programme.

Very appealing as the firm was so kind and they felt genuinely interested in me as a person. I could easily see myself returning to Grant Thornton in the future. The only negative for me was clients in the banking sector.

I was not fortunate to experience any however I had the feeling there was a good social scene, both in the office and the training centre.

Relatively cheap place to live. Average prices for going out.

okay, probably average, im not big on nights out

Not much as an intern
