Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I used to audit Amazon’s finances.
Every day I would check Teams and Outlook and catch up on anything important.
I would then go through the finances and accounts for whatever project I was on and look for claims until lunch.
At lunch I would organise for us to go out and get food and bring it back to the canteen where we would play cards or party games like mafia or poker.
I would then continue auditing until the shift was over where me and my colleagues would then go out to the nearby sports centres to play different sports like volleyball or basketball.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes I was making 6 figure claims against Amazon’s vendors for accounting errors and unpaid dues

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Company culture was amazing and very upbeat until the previous year placements left. Once they left it was up to us to revive the culture which we did. Once we revived the culture though everyone was extremely sociable with a minimum of one or two events after work every single week
