Summer Intern Review

I really enjoyed my placement as I felt like any other member of staff and got really involved in the different audit jobs I was on. It was great experience and confirmed that it was I career I wished to pursue.

I was not treated differently from the other staff in the team, I was expected to contribute in the same way, although I was given support in terms of teaching me processes etc. I therefore felt like a valued resource and my work was appreciated.

In general, I was thrown in at the deep end to challenge me and I enjoyed this, however there was always advice and support on hand, all I needed to do was ask. Indeed when I did ask people were always happy to help and went out of their way to ensure I was ok.

On a daily basis I had a large workload to cover which meant the day flew by. In addition to this the interns had a group project to do so any spare moments were used researching this. We were often working to tight deadline and therefore there as always a lot to do.

I felt that given my knowledge I had a lot of responsibility on the placement. For example I was assigned certain tasks and had respponsibility for completeing them. My work was treated like any other team members and as such just reviewed using the nomal procedures and therefore it had to be correct as there was no-one to pick it up. I also met with clients etc and therefore had responsibility for collecting the necessary information

The experience was invaluable, gaining a real insight into what a job in audit involves. When completing my final year it is great to be able to put the material I am studying into context and it helps my understanding of topics

There was a good atmoshpere, sometimes it could be a bit hectic when trying to meet a deadline, however several social event such as salsa dancing and a comedy night were organised. Everyone was friendly and helpful, I felt at home with them.

The placement was well organised with a weeks training session with all the other interns to start us off. Graduate recruitment or my buddy was always on hand to answer any questions.

I received training similar to that of a new start, had my own laptop and participated in a couple of training sessions run specifcally for the interns. The training week in London was well organised and beneficial and made sure I had everything I needed to have a successful internship.

I was offered a job, conditional on my degree results which I was delighted to accept.

Yes, the interns organised our own social evenings and participated in those run by the firm.

I worked in the same place as I go to uni in so it was no different

yes there were sports teams and the social events which I was always invited along to
