Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We began our placement but having lots of networking opportunities to meet our fellow intern and our colleagues that we will be working with for the next 3 weeks. Through-out the internship we had to shadow our given buddy's who were permeant employees. We either helped our buddy's and watched to learn more about audit, or got put on a client where the manager assigned us some work. This could involve existence testing or looking at expense reports, there was a huge range of tasks we could be given.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really clear and open to discussion. We were very openly told at the beginning of the internship the exact process of what will happen after the program and how the business works. We had many opportunities for questions and the early careers team set up chats dedicated for this specific subject.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I would say that I have developed my networking skills as we were given so many opportunities to meet new people and build connects within the first week. I also developed my professionalism as it is a new environment and we had to learn to adapt to this.

Company Culture

3/5
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Everyone I met in the company was welcoming and friendly. There is a very open environment where you are able to talk to anyone and they refer to the culture as like a family and only being here for a short amount of time I do see why. The general atmosphere is very calm and everyone feels supported by seniors which is very important.
