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

So part of the programme is you get to rotate every 6 months. Suppose the job role varies depending on what team you are in. Some aspects involve data analytics, client interaction etc

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

It helps breaks the boundaries and sterotypes with Corporate firms that you have had to of went to a provate school/Russel group Uni. Once you are in your teams you feel no different to the others that came in from uni

6/10

4. How valued do you feel by KPMG?

Feel valued to an extent ie get the staff benefits etc. However the pay does not reflect the work we do or represent our value. Ie I've nealry been here 3 years now and have more on the job experience/relevant knowledge than a Grad, but yet the pay doesnt reflect this.

6/10

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Good strucure as you do get to do rotations. However the resource team can be very slow at telling you when you are moving teams.

It is well for a starting salary, but then when you gain expertises/experiences/knowldege more than a new grad coming in, it doesnt reflect a true and fair representation.
