    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • It was a great placement, I got the opportunity to travel, learn off very experienced colleagues and have a real impact on the project in which I was placed.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Deloitte places a big focus on learning and helping one another out, there was always someone to ask the silly question to or someone I could approach if I had any issues with.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager was brilliant in understanding my potential and giving me responsibility to realise this.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • The work life balance was very attractive, at times I was very busy but this is to be expected in a professional services firm

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • A lot more than I imagined but not more than I was capable of. I was supported throughout the year in managing my responsibilities.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I easily learnt more in my first six months of the year long placement than I did in the two previous years at university.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • As I worked in the technology consulting side of things it was very relaxed and in some parts of the business it had a silicon valley feel to it.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Very well, there was continuous reviews and monitoring of progress to ensure that I was making the most of my time at the company

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
