About You
I greatly enjoyed the insight programme. Everyone was extremely helpful and we were given the unique opportunity to learn about the company.
I felt highly valued during the two days of the insight programme. Business games and case studies were highly informative, crafted especially for 1st year students.
Everyone was extremely helpful and patient when responding to our queries. I have found the feedback from KPMG consultants after presentation of our case study to be particularly helpful.
While skills developed during the programme may not be very helpful in my university studies, I am sure they will prove extremely useful for future interviews and assessment centres.
The Company
The programme was well-structured, with absolutely no delays or disruptions to planned activities.
There was an atmosphere of hard work, although in a very friendly, collaborative setting.
The opportunity to learn first-hand about the experiences of KPMG employees as well as the complex case study helped me to understand how would full-time work for the company look like.
By participating in business games and case studies, we have learnt a great deal about inclusive and collaborative company culture.
I had had my mind set before the event, although it gave the highly valuable insight into various career paths at KPMG.
Everything Else
KPMG put a lot of effort into inviting employees from a variety of service lines and backgrounds. All of them were highly helpful and open.
As above, we have been given lots of opportunities to interact with employees, not to mention the social event after the first day of the programme.
I would absolutely recommend attending this event for any first year student curious about the world of professional services.
