I really enjoyed my time with Grant Thornton. What I enjoyed the most was the people who I worked with. Everyone was so lovely and likeminded to myself and it helped to create a really positive and supportive working environment. I also enjoyed the exposure I gained to lots of different businesses and sectors.
Very welcoming people and a lot of help provided - hard work but lots of lovely people and rewarding work. I was given every opportunity I wanted to go and shadow people, do secondments in areas different to the one in which I was doing a placement in, and encouraged to push myself.
I really enjoyed my placement at Grant Thornton . I was treated as a graduate and was never short of work. The responsibility you get given is real and there are lots of opportunities to get involved in events outside of work. I would highly recommend!
I enjoyed working with Grant Thornton as it allowed me to gain a lot of experience in accounting and they have great social events which is a great way to meet people all across the firm. Though I personally found that during specific times of my placement (depending on jobs) I was very stressed due to the demands of the job.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my placement year at GT. I have met so many different people from clients to colleagues which has helped me make so many new professional relationships. I enjoyed it so much that I'm hoping to return to GT as a graduate once I've finished my degree.
So far I am in month 3 of my audit placement at GT. It's been a busy start, I've enjoyed working in different places and being client based, meeting new people and staying with other placement students in London was a great way to break the ice, and make friends with colleagues. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first 3 months so far.
I thoroughly enjoyed the internship, and got a real insight into the world of Audit. I had the opportunity to perform different tasks in both an office setting and away on client sites. This gave me the opportunity to shadow more senior members of staff as well as integrate into the team.
I liked the variation of working on site and with clients. Obviously every job you're working with a different team, doing different things with different clients so I think you're experience is shaped by how well the people you are working with (by both clients and colleagues). I really enjoyed the training too where we got to visit London and High Wycombe in the first week so there was lots of opportunities to meet new interns and form a bond with them for support over the duration of the internship.
It was really enjoyable work, with a lot of variety, challenges and fun. I had an amazingly supportive, enthusiastic and engaging team, which was always there for me when I needed them. There was so much to learn, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Wish it could go on for longer!
It was very interesting and insightful into the world of audit. I enjoyed the work and the environment. It helped that everyone was very welcoming and warm as it helped me to feel at ease immediately. The work could be challenging but it was very rewarding too and everyone was open to answering questions.
I really enjoyed my time being an intern and grant thornton and would recommend it to anybody wanting to experience life as an audit assistant Grant Thornton made sure the experience was enjoyable as well as a great learning experience by varying tasks and teams through the 6 weeks .
Thoroughly enjoyed my time here, everyone was so friendly and willing to help. Also got the opportunity to learn a lot and attend client meetings to get a feel of what working here would be like.
I really enjoyed my internship. I found the work varied and challenging, my team allowed me to get involved with a number of projects and were extremely supportive whenever I didn't completely understand the work I was asked to complete.
My work placement was great, the teams I worked with were super friendly and I had endless guidance and aid through all tasks. I was never pressured to complete work in a rush and was given time to make sure I learnt as I worked. I learnt lots on my placement.
Was very good fun, working varied depending on job and workload but also everyone was friendly and did things out of the office so a good social side
I enjoyed my work placement at Grant Thornton very much. Everyone is very warm and friendly. We got taken out on a team lunch on the very first week! I was also given the opportunity to do work in other departments of my choice. Everyone's just generally flexible and supportive.
The people at Grant Thornton are what make it a workplace you want to go to. Whilst as an intern sometimes the work you're capable of doing is somewhat limited and can occasionally, despite the best efforts of your team, be repetitive and boring, this is kind of inescapable given your lack of formal training in the job. Getting to know the other interns a lot better at Bradenham also helps as this gives you a network to socialise with who are all in a similar situation to you.
I found it really interesting!
