Spring into Deloitte Review

The storngpoints of the program were definitely its completeness and structure. Amost all the areas of Deloitte were covered in quite a great deal of details so if you're curious about how such a big firm works that is definitely an enjoyable program, with a lot of valuable insights. However I didn't find the firm representatives too enthusiastic.

Being a placement of only 2 days there's not much to say. However I felt that the employees of Deloitte were very friendly and ready to chat about their experiences in general. So on overall the atmosphere was nice and friendly. Surely they are interested in selecting the best candidates so you feel pretty valued.

As said the program was very well structured and the graduate team was always ready to answer any question we might have. The business representatives furthermore did a fairly good job at explaining what their jobs were about, however not every one of them seemed enthusiastic about being with us but that wasn't a big issue.

In terms of information received then the program was very, very useful. If you don't have a a clear idea of what a professional services firms does than this is the occasion to discover it. However in therms of skill we didn't learn anything in particular, due to the short time, but the networking skills session was very interesting nonetheless.

The structure was just perfect. Every minute was well organised without any wasted time. Also the order in which the presentations were arranged made a lot of sense. The structure allows you to understand a bit more about almost every parts of the firm which, after all, it's what you would expect from an insight program.

The participants were obviously quite keen. The only downside of this program is that in my opinion a non indifferent proportion of the business representatives weren't really keen or too interested in having us there or running the activities. This obviously doesn't apply to everyone but was just a small shadow on a brilliant program.

Surely the company in itself invested a lot on this program in terms of time and money. The tried to give us also a big overview of the firm which is a good thing to match your qualities to the right position. So on overall I believe the firm and the graduate recruitment team did really invest in us.

This depended a lot on the different roles. Some of the roles were very well explained, some were not but on overall you get a pretty good feeling of how it is to work at one of the Big 4.

I think it really gives the feeling of how Deloitte operates, what they do on why they do certain things in certain ways. This mainly thanks to some of the Partners that came to speak with us and did a really good job at explaining why Deloitte was different from the other Big 4, what was it's culture and why they liked to work for the firm.

This is really useful as a program! Since you're really exposed to what the company does and you get the general atmosphere by meeting a lot of people you than should have a pretty good idea about whether you'll like to work for them or not. Even if you go for not then the experience is eally useful for this so full marks on this point.

Up to a certain limit travel expenses. Accommodation (wonderful) provided.

A fair amount of opportunities. Mainly the dinner at the end of the first day. Most Deloitte representatives then topped after the dinner to chat with us, that was definitely very nice and useful.

As said on the previous question, the main networking opportunity was very well organised an useful.

Not really. I guess there wasn't that much time!

Sure, I'd definitely recommend. I eventually decided not to go for a professional services firm but this insight has been very useful form me in coming to this conclusion. Considering furthermore that you're exposed to some many different roles I think this is invaluable and anyone remotely interested should try to get a spot on this, it's only two days!
