    The Role

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

    • I had a really amazing time, loved working with all the colleagues I met, and ended up receiving a job offer at the end.

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

    • All the people with whom I worked were genuine and friendly. I travelled a bit during my time, and thus spent lots of time with my colleagues who couldn't have made me feel more welcome.

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

    • The feedback is really useful and those in charge make sure they go through your work with you to let you know how it is going.

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

    • I was pretty busy every day; occasionally had more time on my hands than at other points but that balanced out the days when I was busier.

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

    • Of course you can't be fully responsible when you haven't really got any idea of how audit functions before you arrive, but I was surprised to find the work I had to do was really quite in depth and interesting.

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

    • They were the first taste of the career I wish to pursue.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere in the main office was quite serious and very professional, but still the people made sure that they had time to get to know each other and have fun.

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

    • It was all very well organised and everyone had lots of work to do, and knew where they had to be everyday

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

    • They taught me everything about the career path I want to follow, and gave me an offer of a job and training afterwards.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    National Travel

    Company Parties/Events
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I got a job with them and can't wait to start. All my friends on the intern programme were also lucky and got jobs too.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • At first we all kept in touch but because we were in different departments and sent to different cities it was hard.

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

    • London is pretty expensive but when I was travelling it wasn't as bad. There isn't much to fix about London prices.

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

    • I had a fab time and was living very centrally so could go out and have dinner and fun in many different places and meet people.

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

    • When I was sent out of the office to the other companies we were in big teams and it was incredible sociable. In London, there were lots of events on too if you could make them.
