    About You

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

    • The insight program was a great way to learn about the different departments within the company and to get a feel of whether I could imagine myself working there.

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

    • KPMG treated me like an adult and I really felt part of the company for the time I was there, they particularly made effort to give us lunch allowances in the canteen which I thought was a nice gesture.

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

    • The guidance was brilliant, as the offices are large there was always someone to show candidates around. There were lots of employees who offered their contacts for further questions.

    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 learnt networking skills and found the ‘making an impact’ session really useful as it prepared me for the further interviews.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The insight days were really well planned, there were enough comfort breaks between the sessions and also a range of activities which kept the day varied.

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

    • The atmosphere was super friendly, everyone had a good time whilst learning a lot about the company. The majority of us have kept in contact after the insight program so it’s a great way to meet people!

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

    • The insight group were provided with multiple sessions which were aimed at our personal development, such as networking skills and how to add value to a business.

    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?

    • The second day of the insight program was a shadowing experience, where I was allowed to workshadow someone in the department of my choice. This was a great experience to figure out if KPMG was the right fit for me.

    5/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • The culture was really evident in all of the activities and the people we were exposed to within the program. KPMG really values it’s people and all the employees I spoke to emphasised this.

    5/5
