    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I really enjoyed my four weeks with KPMG. They treated me as a full employee, and I really feel I got to experience working at KPMG. Everybody was helpful and friendly.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I definitely felt valued. People gave me jobs to do and were very positive about the work I did. KPMG has a great feedback system so when you do well, you find out about it and they also help you with development points.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • A lot. Everybody is so friendly and helpful and when you join you receive a buddy (somebody who joined KPMG within a year of your placement), a performance manager who goes through your feedback with you, and a people leader who looks after everybody in the department. There are lots of places to turn to for support.

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

    • I believe the business skills and work ethic I have developed during my time at KPMG will aid me in my studies, future endeavours and graduate job.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The beginning was slightly slow, with two induction days in a four week scheme. The first day was in the London office for everybody which was a good day. The second day we had our regional office induction. For me, I was then straight out on audit for the rest of my placement. However, there were also a few days during the four weeks such as a corporate responsibility day and a department away day at an activity centre. I thought it was well structured.

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Happy, friendly, yet still business. Several socials meant it was a fun four weeks.

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • An expenses paid trip to London for an induction day. They put on several 'improving' days such as corporate responsibility and a department away day. I definitely feel like the whole vacation scheme was an investment in me.

    5/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • It definitely gave me a good idea of what working with KPMG would be like. They treated me as a full employee.

    5/5
