    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • 3 days that consisted of 2 being virtual and one being on-site. We had the opportunity to learn lots about KPMG, stemming from their values to their societies and departments. We got to meet other students on the on-site day and meet current employees to network. We also had the opportunity to interview for apprenticeships/graduate programmes which was different to other insight days. So to summarise, this was an insight programme where we learnt about KPMG but was also part of the application process for graduate/apprenticeship programmes.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • It was valuable as most of the employees told anecdotes which made it much more memorable than if they just explained their roles in a boring manner. They were all very open to questions even after they were off the stage which was beneficial for students who are more shy.

    Culture

  • 4. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • Everyone said that the people are what make KPMG great. Most companies say that but for KPMG it was very evident. Throughout the programme they have provided lots of support to everyone. They also invited us to have a mentor before the programme and invited us to team meetings to further get to know KPMG. They were clearly very supportive.

    Your Impressions

  • 5. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • To a large extent. When I applied, I thought it was an ordinary insight event, I didn’t realise it was also an opportunity to be given an apprenticeship. I am very grateful, and I especially enjoyed talking to the employees as it confirmed the fact that u want to be a tech consultant.
