    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I had a buddy who was always there to answer my questions, specific to work and also just the company. I also had an intern manager who was really helpful at sorting out partner shadowing and finding interesting work for me to help out with. I also had a counsellor who I met often to see how the internship was going and guide my internship path.

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Generally I was really busy because I took on a lot of work but I could have always said no to taking on more work if I wanted to. Its up to you to find as much work as you want. Sometimes there is less work in the department that'll you be able to help with.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was doing all the same work as a graduate so I felt really involved with the role and not just an intern. I was doing client work and large sections of reports that went to them

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • What I learnt won't help me in my degree but it's definitely really useful to know how group companies work and international tax. My experience will definitely help my career

    The Company

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

    • Really well organised but I was surprised near the end with an email saying I would be on rotation for the last week. This could have been communicated to me earlier.

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

    • Members of my team invested a lot of time in helping me understand everything as with my arts background, I didn't know much at all
