Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Includes mostly learning about new things at the moment as i have just started. Usually given tasks to complete with eaudit or kcw (auditing softwares)
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy it a lot, i feel like if covid restrictions weren't around when i started then i would have been able to enjoy induction more but it was still pretty good.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I feel leve i have definitely developed my communication skills as i have had to reach out to fellow colleagues for help with many tasks.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
I think it's definitely less organised than i'd hoped it would've been, there are times where i genuinely don't know what i'm supposed to be doing but i feel like if you reach out in advance then it's all good
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Loads of support given and from tons of different people like team members and performance managers
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
There's a lot of support from kpmg bpp team, not sure about directly from training provider
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
At this point i have only done 2 exams so it's pretty much just setting the foundation for the knowledge and skills i need
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Personally not involved in any but there's tons of clubs and stuff
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend KPMG to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I think it's great to be able to learn and work at the same time and also to be getting paid while learning is pretty great too
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to KPMG?
Don't stress too much about it, there's definitely some aspects of the application process that seem complicated but just take a while to process things before jumping into them
