    The Role

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

    • There were lots of activities organised in order to get to know the other interns and the people I worked with on a daily basis were extremely supportive in ensuring I made the most out of my time at the firm.

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

    • Throughout my time at Deloitte I felt that I really got to know the people I worked with which provided a comfortable environment to work in and enjoy the experience. I felt appreciated for everything I did, no matter how trivial or small the task was.

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

    • I felt that I was able to ask questions at any time which was very important to me as it allowed me to gain the most out of the scheme. I also enjoyed the variety within the team which allowed me to learn from both managers as well as junior analysts.

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

    • I always had work to be getting on with, however my team appreciated the work/ life balance in ensuring that the work was evenly spread throughout its members so people did not feel over-burdened with work.

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

    • I was responsible for completing my own sections of the projects I worked on which allowed me to gain a good experience of what a graduate would do as I was subject to manager and partner review like the rest of my team.

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

    • As I am returning to Deloitte the skills I gained will give me a head-start on joining the firm as a graduate.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • There was definitely an atmosphere of being there to work hard, however you could tell that people genuinely got along with one another in the office which made for a light hearted atmosphere.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The placement was set up well.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • We had training and an away day which were good. The real development that I feel I got though was through working on the projects where my individual managers ensured that I got the most out of the experience.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
