The Role
I really enjoyed the Audit internship. I was given more responsibility than expected and enjoyed the challenge. However, I felt that if placed on a job that was nearing the final stages, there was little I could do and left doing only a small amount of work.
In longer jobs I felt very valued.
By supervisors on the job I was given loads of support, and they spent time with me to understand the general principles behind the tasks I was assigned.
How busy I was depended very much on which job I was placed on and watch stage it was in the audit process. As I was moved around on different jobs this varied quite a lot, however some days were spent doing little work and seemed very long.
I was given work a first year graduate and beyond would have done.
Gained an overview of the Audit process and how to do basic tasks. This will help me if I continue in the area after university, but even if I don't, I have gained a wide view of industry and developed many skills I can use in any job I move into.
The Company
Relaxed and friendly,
Set up well - teams that are going to have interns on should be told prior to the day before so they can set aside work.
All members of staff seemed to be happy to give up their time to help you understand and more senior staff were keen to check you were okay.
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Really considering staying on or applying for a job within the company.
The Culture
Within the time I was there, there was at least 2 company events and a few lunches or dinners with smaller groups of staff.
Cheap.
Nightlife is okay, not very big.
Lots of sports clubs etc
