    The Role

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

    • This was a truly excellent placement for the right person. Technically, it was in depth and Deloitte made sure that as a scholar, we were looked after and could pursue our interests in the relevant fields. Professionally, the number of skills gained was very high and their application has been highly transferrable.

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

    • When I joined the organisation, people were extremely welcoming and helpful. I was also treated with a great deal of respect quickly given many responsibilities. There was the odd employee who had the lack of respect and foresight to deal with scholars/interns in a professional and mindful way, but generally, the colleagues were outstanding.

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

    • I always had somewhere to ask for assistance. If I felt lost, managers/supervisors would to the best of their ability assist me.

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

    • Generally speaking, the workload depended a lot on one's commitment and desire to learn about the organisation and industry. The flexibility is there to go as high as one wants. Busy season was obviously filled with fairly long hours, but it was by no means the nightmare many people make it out be.

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

    • A very large amount of responsibility was given provided one could prove oneself and show enthusiasm.

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

    • Invaluable skills were gained at such a relatively young age (18). It boosted my maturity and ability to deal with people in a profound way.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Again, a subjective question. It was a very positive atmosphere generally speaking.

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

    • It was organised brilliantly, making the scheme feel very well structured and thought ut.

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

    • Invested very highly, obviously expended a great deal of resource to ensure I could perform my job well.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • As a scholar, they are very positive, subject to levels of performance.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was a good vibe among the scholars. The group was also surprisingly varied.

    4/5

    • St Albans and London are fairly expensive areas.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I didn't attend many nightlife events.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
