    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Everyone was very friendly and always willing to help you. If you wanted to find out more information about a sector GT operates in, you're able to email senior managers who were happy to talk me through what they do and answer my questions. Everyone was hard working but always made sure you knew what you were going.

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It was really well organised, everything on our first day ran smoothly and we have had two trips to London which were well organised. We were all assigned jobs before we started so there was always work for us to do.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • We had a presenting course down at the training facility in London, this was extremely helpful as it gave us tips for how to make a memorable presentation, how to deal with nerves, how to act confidently when presenting etc. In our final week we had to present to partners in the firms so this course was very useful. We also got training on how to use the audit software Voyager which we used every day during our internship.

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Yes, we had end of month drinks with everyone in the office and most Fridays there were groups going for drinks that we were welcome to go along to.

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I lived at home and travelled in so no different to there.

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Didn't go out often during my internship but it's the middle of a city so the nightlife is good.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There was a charity football match but apart from social activities after work there wasn't much of this that I was aware of.
