I enjoyed the internship, as I got good exposure to the company.
The 6 week internship was a fantastic overall experience with exposure to a wide variety of clients, and therefore industries, during the process. The work was varied day to day and the different teams I worked with during the time were great. At times the individual tasks are challenging and seem repetitive, however, with practice you get better and so more efficient.
I very much enjoyed my internship at BDO. It was an honest and sincere pleasure coming into work every morning. Like with everything in life, you only get out what you put into it. If you are eager, and complete your assigned work, there are opportunities to get involved with more and more interesting areas of work. Was a great decision applying, and was fortunate to work here.
I really enjoyed the internship at BDO. I learnt such a wide variety of things over the 6 weeks and the company was fully invested in my time here with an initial training week in Birmingham, two days in London at the end of the internship and lots of networking and social events. The work was extremely varied which meant it was always interesting.
Thoroughly. Found the work interesting and challenging throughout. Enjoyed working in small client based teams.
I really enjoyed the placement. It was a great insight into Audit, and the professional services industry in general. I was given plenty of responsibility from day 1, and this is the fastest way to learn. I spent my first week on site working directly with the client, which was a brilliant experience. My office was very welcoming, although small.

Working in the tax department in BDO has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience that has given me many of the tools I need to join the industry and confidence that this is the right sector for me.
Overall I really enjoyed my internship at BDO. I got to work with many great people on a variety of auditing tasks, as well as having great social events with other interns. Gaining exposure to many facets of audit kept things interesting and exciting, while the socials were great for getting to know my colleagues and having time to relax after work. I found the industry very interesting and would like to pursue a career in auditing. I also got to learn and do work for other departments ad travel to different offices, giving me a better overview of the firm as a whole. This was exciting and I found the whole experience worthwhile.
The Work Experience Programme at BDO was a really fantastic week of learning, development and networking. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to returning in the near future. The two-weeks allowed us to gain an in-depth insight into the firm, how it operates and how to find a career there.
It was an interactive session and we were forced to work in different groups which broke the ice between us and helped to build connections. Everyone was very friendly and did not hesitate to make each other feel comfortable.
The hosts and speakers were very friendly. They did not hesitate to answer questions even those that seemed trivial.
The programme has been fantastic, you are made to feel valued and and it surpasses any expectations. You really get a good idea of what working in audit would be like. Not to mention there are lots of fun jobs to match the calling and casting! I enjoyed it more than i thought i would.

I enjoyed the variety of work I took part in and it is something I want to be doing going forward. My only negative would be that I would have liked to have spent longer in Audit, but I still enjoyed the time I spent in Risk Advisory Services.
I really enjoyed my internship. The team were friendly and welcoming and the work I was tasked with was worthwhile and refreshing.

The insight was a very good experience which I thoroughly enjoyed. Everyone at BDO was very welcoming and helpful. During my 2 weeks there, I was able to work with different clients and many people from the office, which gave me experience as to what it would be like to work at a company such as BDO on a daily basis.
I really enjoyed the insight as it gave me a solid idea of what the company does and what the role of an auditor is. I also got on well with the people around me and everyone at the company was really positive.
