    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Although quite a lot of technichal accounting knowledge was needed, i was able to do some of the basic audid/tax jobs and enjoyed learning new skills whilst doing this.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Because there is quite a big intake every year there were a lot of people that i worked with who had been in the same position the year before and could appreciate what it was like to be in the position.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • The management team were really supportive and in contact throughout the placement to check on my progress.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Summer is a quiet time for audit, although there was always something to do.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Towards the end of my placement i was given reasearch topics to do, which were really interesting. I also visited clients on my own, which although quite daunting, was a really valuable experience.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • At the beggining of the internship all the interns in the country go to a hotel and complete 3 days of training activities on team building, presentation skills etc. This was really valuable experience and i can see me using it throughout my career.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Everyone was really freindly and seemed to get on very well.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Great communication both before, during and after the placement.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Due to the short timescale of the internship, there is not a lot of time to train. However, as a graduate the training seems to be really well organised and there is a lot of support available. In your first year you would spend 16 weeks at college completing the first year exams for you Chratered Accountancy qualification.

    4/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • National Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • There is a really good career path within Deloitte, so once you've finished your ACA exams you can work towards becoming a manager and eventually a partner.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Not only withing the placement students, but within the whole office. Throughout my two months i think there was something going on every week. Because of their large intake every year everyone is fairly young and there is a really good social side to working at Deloitte. (Free drinks nights once a month, paid for by the company, is definately one to look out for!)

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Nottingham is a really cheap area to live in and the office is right near the centre of town so really easy to get to by public transport.

    5/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Great nightlife in Nottingham.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • As i have said before, there's always something going on in Deloitte, whether it be free drinks nights, team days, or inter-office sports.

    5/5
