BDO is 8th in Accountancy & Finance Top 100 Undergraduate Employers 2020 - 2021
It wasn't something I had any experience in before, I'd done some basic accounting work experience but nothing proper. It takes a little getting used to, which is why there's the probation/settling in period of 6 months (9 months in the case of virtual/online), which really helps you settle in, whilst you're learning new things and getting better on each job. So far I'm still enjoying the placement as each job offers something new or different, and I feel like I'm getting better at each one.
The virtual experience is obviously not as good as it would be in the office, there's no communication or office banter, so it can get quite lonely. Even with messaging or meetings, it's only really work based and not social based as with an office environment. So the work itself is quite good (If you like accounting, it can seem boring or monotonous to some people probably) - but you get offered the same jobs and work just as any other employee does, there's no dumbing down or 'making the tea', you do get involved.
