    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed it a lot as it was a great learning experience and something totally new.

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

    • Despite just being a summer student, I always felt valued by the other colleagues. They gave me real work to do and positive feedback when it was completed.

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

    • My mentor, or advisor, was really nice. She did our training on the first day and came to check on us throughout our time working, as well as asking us how we were getting on with preparation for our interview which was at the end of our time there.

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

    • Some days were busier than others, it just depended on how the audit was going. Waiting for clients to send back up often delayed things! On the whole though, I was busy most days.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given more responsibility than I thought I would be - we were working on real work on real audits.

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

    • I have learned so much over the past few weeks, and it will definitely help me when I finish university and enter the world of work

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Really positive and upbeat. Everyone got along and there was always something to speak about!

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

    • The whole process was really well set up, all the way from the application stage to the placement. However, the only bad thing was how late we got our joining instructions for our national induction which was in Birmingham, meaning that lots of last minute transport had to be booked.

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

    • We had to do IT training, a service line induction as well as corporate responsibility training, so I believe they did spend time investing in the training we were given

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

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

    • The future employment prospects look very promising. The career development seems very logical, adaptable but structured at the same time.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were a couple of social events whilst I was there

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I wasn't really affected by them as I stayed at home. The socialising costs were average though.

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

    • Lively, especially at the weekends

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

    • Apart from the social activities, then no, but I'm sure there would be if you were there for a longer period of time.
