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

    • Your immediate supervisor changes with each client but the bast majority were really good, nobody assumed any accounting knowledge which made you feel less useless than you would imagine! The overall manager for the interns was brilliant and really approachable

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • With it being summer, the audit season is at its slowest but this allows a lot more information to be gleaned from staff who arent too bust to talk to you

    4/5

    • You produce documents that go directly into the eAudit software to be reviewed by a senior manager and eventually seen by a partner

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • The staff are significantly younger than I anticipated and there is a real opportunity to meet colleagues outside work through numerous socials and events. A very unexpected bonus!

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

    • Very well structured as you would expect from this size company

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

    • The company are clearly interested in getting to know you and your working style and committment. You get back what you put in and KPMG are more than willing to make the effort

    4/5

    Sports and Social Club

    National Travel

    The Culture

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

    • All the interns were in the same boat and we spent a lot of time together both in and outside the office. A great bunch of guys/girls

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

    • Nottingham is definitely no London

    • Plenty of bars, restaurants, cinema etc

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Football, cricket, socials, cocktail making events, a real ecclectic mixture of things to get involved with
