    • My colleagues were very friendly and helpful. We have a coffee area and some of us go and have their breaks there.

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

    • My schedule was full with client work and it was a very good experience. My buddy would organise work for me when a job got cancelled, but it is very flexible and can change last minute.

    The Culture

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

    • We organise regular meet ups to catch up during the placement. It is a nice opportunity to meet people from different universities from other KPMG departments. We also share our work experience and what we got assigned to do.

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

    • Yes. We had the option to participate in CSR events during the internship.
