Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
It was a 3 day programme consisting of information sessions, networking with current colleagues as well as with fellow peers to conduct case studies etc
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
This was interesting to learn what these roles consist of as well as learning what roles are available within this sector and firm itself. There were several information sessions regarding the firm itself as well as chances to network with colleagues to gain an understanding on these topics.

Company Culture

How would you rate business leader involvement during the insight
4/5
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
It was a friendly atmosphere and seemed inclusive and welcoming. Of course this programme was short (3 days) so cannot comment too deeply on this as can only go off what I saw especially as I only spent 1 day in the office with the other 2 days being virtual.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I enjoyed the programme as was able to network with fellow peers and colleagues as well as gaining an insight into the firm and sector. However it was quite short and only 1 day spent in the office so could not gain a very clear proper insight as with an internship or full spring week etc.
Please rate your level of enjoyment on the insight

Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

Yes
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to KPMG
I would say make the most out of the experience as 3 days goes by quite fast. Network with colleagues as well as fellow peers.
