Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
2/5
Day to day I work on data analysis for engagements in a range of ways; this includes through alteryx and SQL and also often writing up documentation. When there are no engagements, there is a bit of down time for me.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
When I am productive and when the apprentices collaborate its good! When there's downtime and not much to do, I feel very underutilised and undervalued
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Learnt Alteryx and client communication, developed SQL and python
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
The study element is well structured, my role at the company does not feel well structured.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
To some extent, but not entirely or even mostly
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
Apprentices have organised a lot of these in recent years outside of work - was not aware of how to get involved at work extra-curricular or which was available/ no longer available. For example, was told of a book club which I couldn't find despite asking around.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend KPMG to a friend?
Yes
Why?
The benefits and experience is good, and its definitely a launchpad for a career. I can't see myself staying post-apprenticeship however.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to KPMG?
It's very different from school so if you are a school leaver it definitely isn't what you are expecting - It's a massive adjustment and change from academia.
