    The Role

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

    • Not all that I was expecting. Some days were intense and busy, others more chilled out.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was given responsibilities including inputs to client deliverables.

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

    • Extremely supportive atmosphere. Despite being extremely busy, my manager sat down on more than one occasion with me to discuss any questions I had about the company and my prospects.

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

    • Very stop/start. Compared to revising for university finals I found the pace slow and I was often bored.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • A lot of responsibility given to me to produce client-ready documents and Power Point slide decks. I was absoutely made to feel a valuable part of the 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?

    • Some life skills, but not relevant to my degree (engineering) despite being involved in the "Technology" competency of consultancy.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • I was based on the client site, which was less fun than the Deloitte offices!

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Extremely well organised with lots of feedback sessions and useful training events.

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

    • Training events organised at least once a week which were extremely helpful for core skills such as presentations.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    National Travel

    Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The placement was not what I suspected so I decided not to go for a graduate role- I decided I wanted something more relevant to my degree (engineering).

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • Many social events organised which were fun and informal. Also a team-building day at the very beginning meant we have all ended up as good friends!

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

    • I stayed with family so lived for free. Food and drink not as expensive as I had feared in London.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Only went for drinks after work but it was vibrant and buzzing!

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Not enough was done to make us aware of activities outside of work, if there were any.
