    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed the work and environment at Deloitte

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The people were great. They helped me to settle in and I felt they really valued my contribution.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Everything was explained to me and I was given realistic deadlines.

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

    • It depends on which placement. In audit I was occasionally too busy, particularly during busy season. However, in tax the balance was perfect. Having said this, if you are looking for a 9-5 this is perhaps not the right place to work.

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

    • The work I was given was challenging, however, too much responsibility wasn't heaped on me all at once so it was a good balance.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The training itself is quite specific to accounting, however, you also learn about what office life is like in a big multi-national company so this is experience that you can take with you even if you didn't want to pursue a career in accounting.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Sometimes serious and time-pressured but mostly quite relaxed and fun.

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

    • There is a large recruitment team and they make sure the Scholar scheme runs seamlessly

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

    • You are sent to college along with graduates and receive exactly the same training as them. There is a lot invested in you.

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

    • I worked in the London office and living costs are very high in this area. However, in the regional offices prices may be lower.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Nightlife is good but very expensive.

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