About You
My time at KPMG has pushed me further than I thought it would. It put me in situations that I had not experienced before and it is because of this that I feel like I have grown both as an individual and a professional businessman. Overall, very enjoyable.
Whilst it was a slow start to the Project I was working on (due to client side delays), I felt that my value to the team increased exponentially in my final few weeks at KPMG. My colleagues confidence in my work also increased, which was very positive to see.
Every single individual I met whilst at KPMG have been approachable and extremely helpful. They have gone beyond answer questions and making me feel welcome.
The work I have completed at KPMG have not been related to my degree in any way. However, I am sure that it will benefit me if I am fortunate enough to come back and work for the company
The Company
Considering that I have had something to do everyday when coming into the office and that I seldom have to ask for work suggests that the insight was very well structured. The first day in particular (welcome day) ran noticeably smoothly.
The atmosphere was usually very positive. On the odd occasion, it may become tense and slightly stressful when dealing with mundane tasks or difficult deadlines. Nevertheless, the atmosphere never fails to pick itself back up again.
I feel there is only so much that one person can retain/learn in four weeks. Comparing myself now to the person who joined 3/4 weeks ago, I can confidently say that I have learnt a lot. For this to be the case, the firm and its workers must have invested in me.
Whilst I did learn a lot, there is still so much I do not know.
Considering I only had 4 weeks (25 days) here at the company, the insight was very effective at ensuring that KPMG's culture was made clear whenever possible.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience and hope that my colleagues have benefited from me being around. I am keen to come back and learn more about KPMG and its culture.
Everything Else
Definitely. The company set up social events throughout the four weeks which provided ample opportunity to network with fellow interns. My project team were also incredibly sociable and so I was able to network with them and their contacts after work.
The main social event is tomorrow, so I cannot make a comment
I have been so focused on bettering my knowledge of audit and ensuring that I get along with my team and other interns that I have not had time to find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work. I am very keen to though.
I would recommend this insight to a friend if they were interested in seeing how a big organisation works in the world of finance.
