Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We would shadow a senior associate 2 throughout the 3 days as well as have 'coffee' chats which were amazing as we got to have a wide range of insights. We spoke to someone who had recently joined, someone who is a manager and someone who is a partner and go to understand the journey for each.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was interesting because there was so much more behind audit the line of service I was apart of that I didn't know or haven't heard of previously. The career progression too is also great.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
Yes, I developed my communication skills as I learned the key to articulating my sentences correctly when asking numerous questions to the people we had coffee chats with. Also to not be afraid of asking questions in general particularly when need help.

4/5
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture was fabulous. It is very inclusive of everything: race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, religion, education background, previous careers etc. There is 11 networks where people join and host social events and really come together as a community to learn a lot more about each other. We had a HIIT/yoga session too on one of the days to help promote healthy wellbeing and the firm is also really keen on mental health.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?
