    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I really enjoyed my internship at GT, I learnt so much in six weeks and met some amazing people

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I genuinely felt that all of the work I was given was actually useful to the audit and when I completed work I felt people were grateful for my help.

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

    • Managers are always available via email or a phone call. They're really helpful and answered all of my questions.

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

    • I think there was only two days throughout my internship that I didn't have a lot to do. The rest of the time I was constantly busy and learning new things.

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

    • Obviously interns aren't going to get a huge amount of responsibility but I was genuinely shocked by how much the things I was doing actually mattered.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Though I'm not sure it will assist me in my degree, I have learnt a lot about audit and accounting and I have developed a lot personally.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • I didn't actually spend a lot of time in the office as I was out on client site. Both of these had a good atmosphere and everyone was chatty and it was very easy to fit in with GT people.

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

    • It would've been better to know more about when we would fin out about graduate offers but apart from this I feel it was very organised and I always knew where I was meant to be and what I was meant to be doing.

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

    • We were taken on a course to Bradenham which for me was the best bit of the internship. It was great to meet other interns from across the country and I learnt a lot from the course.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I was offered a graduate job which I will be taking when I finish uni next year!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • We were invited out for drinks with associates and to the Manchester office summer BBQ. I went for lunch a few times and out with the interns from the north west offices.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I had to move to Manchester for my internship so I had to pay accommodation but living in Manchester was reasonable.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I went out a few times in Manchester and the nightlife was good.

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

    • We were invited to lots of social activities with the opportunity to join sports clubs.
