Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I am an assurance intern and this includes working on the audit teams in the firm to audit the financial statements of clients. Every day is different- I get given different tasks to complete every day ranging from revenue checking to marking up financial statements. I usually go into the office from 9-5 every day.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
It depends- one team I worked on I wasn't given much responsibility. I would be given my tasks through email, would complete the excel document provided and would then send it back. However, the job I am on now I feel like I am given much more responsibility- the jobs make me feel like I am contributing more, I am using canvas a lot more to send client requests, find documents etc.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Lots. My buddy has been very helpful as any issues or queries I have had I would message her and she would help me out. Having a counsellor also really helped. Everyone on the teams I have worked on have also provided a lot of support and guidance as if I felt I needed to ask questions on the task I was working on, they would be very helpful.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The culture and atmosphere is better than I expected. The office feels very relaxed with the hybrid working and the fact you book desks every day and don't sit in a specific seat every day. Everyone is really friendly and helpful too.
