    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • A huge amount; presentations made help give me confidence, I've also found a career I want to pursue in the future after uni. You also gain so much experience that you will have almost too many examples in future interviews.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Audit was organised brilliantly but tax needed a bit more structure

    4/5

    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Final interview took place yesterday and will find out the result tomorrow morning. If you prepare well for your interview and perform over you time here, they say a job offer is likely.

    4/5

    The Culture

    • Went out for various lunches and dinners, bowling and the occasional drinks after work

    5/5
