    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Atmosphere in the office was good, however I was based at different client sites most of the time as I was working in Audit.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • There was a really good stucture to the internship. The induction at the beginning for about 60 interns across the country was a fantastic opportunity to meet other people, and it was a lot of fun too! I had 4/5 counsellor meetings over the 6weeks so I was getting a lot of support and was getting what I wanted out of my internship. I was always booked to a client which allowed me to work with different teams which was good. Finally, the summer intern ball at the end where everyone came together for one last time was fantastic; a brilliant send-off.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The main training was to do with our laptops, learning how the internal system works so we can carry out tasks. There was plenty of addition webls we could take part in if we had the extra time and wanted to develop further.

    4/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • National Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I was offered a place that I have accepted.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • All of the interns gelled together straight away. We organised sports events, meals and even night's out which were all a great chance to share experiences and get to know each other better.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • 3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Working in Birmingham, the 2nd city, the nightlife was fantastic- there is always something to do if you want to.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • I attended work drinks a few time, which was great to speak to employees at all levels, from Partners to Associates. I also went to 'Go Ape' which is a high ropes course and Ernst & Young have various sports teams to get involved with.
