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

    • I did make a couple of mistakes, but my manager just told me what I had done wrong and how to correct it. I made sure I didn't make the same mistake twice!

    • Really busy, after the first few days I had a constant stream of things to do everyday

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

    • Most of the work I did was checked over by someone else to start with, but later on in the internship I was responsible for sections and the team decided to change something in that section, I would be responsible for making sure that happened

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

    • I think I was lucky in my division (strategy) that it was well organised, I think some other areas weren't as well done

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

    • Really appealing, sounds like a good grad programme and the department does some really exciting work

    The Culture

    • KPMG could have organised a bit more, but it was mainly left to the interns to get together for drinks etc

    2/5
