The Role
The work itself was quite close as to what to expect from a graduate position. Varied from week to week, mixing between office weeks and client visits. Day to day tasks mainly involved performing audit tests, but additional tasks included researching new and existing clients.
Felt like a member of the team straight away, felt that as you did more tasks, more interesting ones came your way too.
Good verbal feeback, most of the associates I worked with also did a summer internship with the firm too so they understood what it was like. There was also weekly written feedback too.
Kept busy most of the time, and always left at reasonable hours (usually with the other associates too). Any 'down time' was filled by doing one of the few placement long intern projects.
Never felt out of my depth, but you also had a lot of exposure to clients and were left to do your own work if you were comfortable with it.
Despite doing a non accounting degree I gained a good work ethic and team working skills on the job too.
The Company
Young crowd with a good atmosphere, lunch time ping pong in the office helped get to know quite a few of the current graduates.
Induction through to scheduling my time was really well organised and also flexible, all I had to do was ask to see different industries and with relative ease it was achieved.
Decent induction left me with little questions to ask when on site, so I guess the time they invested in getting me up to speed was sufficient to fulfill the role they gave me.

At time of writing have not completed the scheme, however I feel relatively confident that the final interview should not have any nasty surprises!
The Culture
Induction was aimed at introducing everyone to each other, and then the firm organised socails for us too. Within a few days I felt really comfortable around the other placement students.
SE England is never going to be too cheap, however we were paid pretty well for the scheme. Much better pay than a bar job or anything like that.
Crawley is not the best place to go out in, but London was only 30mins away and I know the area well so I knew decent places to go.
Office teams for football and netball existed, however I never really played football and am not a girl, so I didnt get involved!
