Audit Intern Review

Really valuable insights into different areas of the business and work done. Felt well structured and balanced, doing real work from the start.

Acted as part of various audit teams and within the office. Most colleagues were happy to give work to interns with the view it would be done well. Kept in the loop throughout on important events or jobs,

I had a very energetic manager who was always eager to make sure I was busy and happy. The whole structure or the internship was very supportive, including away day training sessions.

For the majority of the time I was very busy, or quickly given work if I asked for more. Some days involved travelling to client sites and working there all day, some days involved being the office helper and lending a hand to many different jobs.

I was in charge of my own time and small projects, but most of the responsibility was retained by other colleagues. There are necessities for this in a service line based on being thorough, trustworthy and knowledgeable, but more responsibility could have been handed to me I feel.

I had a brilliant 2 day presentation skills workshop at Grant Thornton's training facility near High Wycombe. This taught me some brilliant skills which I will retain and use in the future. I also became more comfortable in a client facing role.

Friendly people in a nice office. Because auditors are often out of the office, it lacks *some* of the buzz of an office where everyone sits together every day, but still always come in to smiling faces every day.

From day one, brilliant. I've had intern getherings in london, lunches with various people, client visits, training, away days, charity events... The list goes on! Can't fault the organisation or structure of this internship.

The firm invested lots of time, money and people into my develoment. As mentioned in a previous comment, we had a two day trip to their training facility in the countryside. Also never felt pressured to know things up front, and people took time to explain things properly.

Stability, solid career development and a great variety of work to be had. It's been a real insight into not only audit but the business world. Future employment with GT is definitely something worth considering.

There's been opportunities for drinks, socials, even a national football tournament. Met other interns from other offices a few times, pretty good balance considering it was only 6 weeks.

Fairly average outside of London, Leicester has quite a few options open for food, drink and social locations.

Nightlife in Leicester isn't amazing, although there is scope for a good night out.

There were a few activities run by Grant Thornton, with an ethos that if you want to arrange something, suggestions are welcome!
