    The Role

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

    • The internship experience as a whole was fantastic. There was a variety of tasks assigned to me during my time with my office. The initial induction in Birmingham was very enjoyable and the time in London at the end of the internship was great to meet up with the people I met originally.

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

    • BDO's culture is incredibly family orientated and everyone is always available to help you as well as relying on the work you produce.

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

    • My appraisal manager was incredibly supportive throughout the internship. The seniors on the job were also very friendly and helpful.

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

    • There was almost a perfect balance when it came to being busy. There were a couple of times where I had a bit of free time as my client wasn't ready but I was able to find other work to do.

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

    • I would say you are treated the same as a first year graduate. So you are given a healthy level of responsibility for your level. You are able to take on more responsibility if you wish.

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

    • The skills developed are incredibly useful for both future employment and also completing the final year of university.
