    The Company

    • There are quite serious moments of quiet while everyone is working but it is never too stifling or too boring

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I had a schedule of what I was going to do every week set out and outlined so if I was ever unsure I just needed to ask my buddy or my mentor what I was going to do

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Hopefully they were happy with the work I did and my attitude and they feel like I will be valuable to the firm in the future

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • We all bonded pretty well and everyone was nice and anticipating the work so we all went out together and kept in touch via the internal messenger tool

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Okay, not too cheap but not uber expensive. Just right

    3/5

    • Not sure as I did not stay overnight but I'm sure it was pretty good

    3/5

    • With the CSR campaign KPMG urged you to go beyond work and what was set out for you
