Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I assisted in the Audit of a company. I attended daily stand-up sessions with my team, in which I gave an overview of the work I had performed in the past day. I helped other team members with any tasks that they required assistance with, such as verifying bank balances, emailing the client, organizing files, etc.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
In the first days, we had an induction talk for all interns where they gave an overview of the company. We also had the opportunity to talk to current graduates and ask them about their role and the programme. This gave me a good overview of the company, its culture, and the variety of opportunities it offers.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there were restrictions regarding the social activities we could carry out. I was working from home and therefore did not have a chance to interact in person with my colleagues. The company culture was supportive, but extremely busy and fast paced.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I enjoyed working with my team, as everyone was friendly and tried to help when I asked them a doubt. The work was interesting, but it would have been a good addition to have shadow sessions with more senior people in order to get a better insight into Audit.
