    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • 4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • KPMG is really a people firm, colleagues would always be willing to go out of their way to help you so long as you were working hard and doing your best.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • 4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Although I was often having to ask for work, once I had built up relationships with managers they were more willing to send over interesting projects- again if you are willing to work hard you will be rewarded with more tasks and more interesting tasks. I would however advise interns to always make sure they ask for work and keep themselves busy as there is nothing worse than a sitting infront of a computer without anything to do.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • 3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Learning to work in a workplace environment and completing timesheets will definitely help you to plan your work and projects in your final year of university.
