The Role
Very good. Covered a broad range of work.
Always supported whenever needed.
Good guidance to develop skills.
Very busy - which allowed some great experienced.
Increased as the internship went on.
Some of the work will definitely help in specific modules (even some which are not accountancy related).
The Company
Good atmosphere, and fun to work.
It did take very long to get through the process. There could perhaps have been greater planning.
Some time was invested, but not a great deal.
Subsidised Canteen
Better options in financial accounting, but considerable for management accounting.
The Culture
Yes.
Low costs.
Fairly good nightlife.
Not really.
