    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I didn't really enjoy the placement, it was adversised as "work expirence" however we didnt even see the offices. The whole process just felt like the first stage of appling to Deloitte. The games and activities were repetative and at times boring. Most of the Deloitte workers we spoke to just went on about the amazing nightlife and fun you have working at Deloitte, but spoke little about the real work they do. All of the "business games" we just to show off how good Deloitte are
