    The Role

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

    • It was a very good, well structured internship

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

    • Felt valued by some more than others, this was mainly due to some delegating more advanced work than others.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • As an 'SVS' student you are given a 'buddy' and a 'champion' who support you through the scheme and answer any concerns or queries you have.

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

    • Most days a sufficient amount of work was delegated. Obviously there are times when you don't have much to do, but these were not very frequent.

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

    • A fair amount of responsibility given it is only an internship. You are given work to do for clients from the start, although this was probably due to the client focus nature of Indirect Tax.

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

    • Technically, probably not that much as the service line is very narrow. Personal skills developed will definitely help me beyond my studies

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Pretty good, the workforce is fairly young so there was a talkative atmosphere with people not solely focussed on their work and nothing else.

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

    • Very well organised. 'Seamless'

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

    • Induction event over 2 days initially was primarily to meet everyone in other offices who you inevitably won't see again during your internship, this was followed by an office induction which was straightforward. Other than this, there was not much personal training other than learning from colleagues.

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

    • Very.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, as there is a fairly young workforce the social side was good. Also, there were events going on during the internship such as an away day which was pleasant.

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

    • Lived at home as office was 20 minute commute. Not particularly expensive, although I did pay £6 for a peroni which was quite perturbing.

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

    • Pleasant.

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

    • Not particularly. There were a couple of football matches that you could get involved in but these were quite a distance from the office.
