The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed the placement and I learnt so a lot.
Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, and everybody seemed excited at the prospect of me joining the team.
My counselling manager was absolutely fantastic and supported me all the way through.
Some days were busier than others, but whenever I was at clients I had lots to do.
It seemed like I had similar responsibilities as the graduates already working at BDO, which was encouraging.
The skills I have developed will absolutely assist me in the future, in both the final year of my university degree and in my future career.
The Company
Generally really upbeat.
Very well organised. I was impressed at how the internship was split up between training, clients visits and office work.
BDO was keen to develop all my skills for my future.
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Very appealing
The Culture
Definitely, there always seemed to be something going on.
I lived at home which was very cheap, buses to and from the office were an okay price.
Great
Yes there was a football tournament and an away day while I was there.
