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

    • The employees at BDO were very nice and helpful. The advisory panel stayed with us during lunch to discuss anything we wanted. Which I found extreme usefully as it allowed individual whom may have been shy to ask questions to do so in a less pressured environment.

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • During lunch a few employees stayed after their presentation to have a disscusion with us on what every topics we wanted. I feel if they had business card it would have been easier to contact them but beside this small blip, still a great opportunity to speak to employees of BDO.

    5/5

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Social events are crucial to the cohension of the various teams within the different business streams. We learnt about group lunches and dinners. After work drinks, various parties throughout the years and a host of sports teams available to join. What stood out of me was the BDO National 5-side football tournament held in Manchester, all paid for by the company.

    5/5
