    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I enjoyed it a lot - I was on a client site for the majority of my time here, which was a great insight into how another company operates and what it's like to work there.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Everyone I met was friendly, open and willing to have a chat. I felt able to approach anyone and didn't feel sidelined.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My team was very small (three people) and very busy, so it was up to me to raise any issues if I wanted further guidance. However, when I did, they were receptive to it and quick to offer solutions.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • It varied a lot; some days there wasn't much to do, in which case I concentrated on other work or organised other things to do - I was given responsibility to lay out what I did with my time, which I enjoyed the freedom of, although sometimes I would have appreciated having more work to do.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • More responsibility towards the end, once they knew what I could do, but I think the sorts of tasks I was doing were quite similar to those of someone starting in a graduate role.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Completed the Analyst training in Powerpoint and Excel, as well as developed skills for interacting with people in a business situation.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • I was on a client site the entire time, so the mood there was understandably rather different than at the Deloitte main office! In the Deloitte office, people chat a lot more and are generally more relaxed (especially with regards to dress code), but where I was, it was all suited, booted and serious.

    3/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • There were a lot of social events and training sessions organised for us during the placement; I felt really treated and looked after, and we were always given plenty of notice for when these would be happening.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • A lot - they definitely put in the time to train me, include me in an exciting project and expose me to some very interesting, smart people.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I should have my final interview in a few weeks time - hopefully it'll be fine!

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • A really fantastic, like-minded group of people.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Central London, so it's going to be quite expensive, but a Social Committee of interns was set up, and they were given a budget to organise events for us.

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Again, central London...!

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • If the interns weren't organising something to do after work, then quite often my team would be or there would be events at the Deloitte office (seminars etc.) that I could attend.

    5/5
