apprentice Review

This changes every day as not every day is the same. As i am currently in tax, this could be anything from liaising with clients to completing tax computations. theres is a lot of work with excel and other Microsoft tools. Its hard work but to be honest i enjoy it.

Yes, I have expanded on my excel skills a lot whilst working here as a lot of the work is done on excel. I have learnt to how to project manage whilst working here at KPMG which is a skill i dont think i would have easily gained anywhere else.

I enjoy my programme a lot as it gives me a salary and qualifications related to my career plans whilst giving me study support. There are some inefficiencies in regards to the training provider policies while studying however the actual day to day aspect of the programme is pretty good.

The programme is very well organised and structured as its a 5/6 year programmed with points where you can drop off the programme and go into a full time role in the firm. Only a small issue but one thing i would point out is the training provider could be a lot better and the training policies in place as sometimes there is no logic behind some of the decisions made.

There is a tremendous level of support available from the firm as senior employees at all level are sympathetic and understanding when we have exams and usually support us to ensure we have enough time to study for an exam. The firm also has an anonymous employee helpline for those that need support with life/general stuff.

There is a tremendous level of support available from the firm as senior employees at all level are sympathetic and understanding when we have exams and usually support us to ensure we have enough time to study for an exam. We are encouraged to put our study before our day job to ensure we are maximizing the training and learning offered

The qualifications that we do are directly related to all of the job roles that i have been in during my time at the firm. They have all helped me to understand a lot of the context of my day job. for example studying about business tax whilst in the corporation tax team helped my performance as i understood things better.

There is a vast range of extra curricular activities to get involved in here, these range from networking events, very regular social events with our teams, and time we get to volunteer to help a charity that we believe in. There are lots of things to do here and there is definitely something for everyone.

Yes

The amount of support that we receive is amazing, we are encouraged to do the best that we can to take advantage of whats on offer. We work with very smart people, and being in this environment ensures that we also learn and pick things up quite quickly. Its great.

Be your self, Honestly, bring your self to work, KPMG encourages people to bring their whole selves to work so that every employee is comfortable coming to work. Regardless on whether your an introvert or an extrovert, everyone is welcome. bringing your full self to work allows the rest of us to work in a diverse environment.
