    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Fantastic, and by the far the most impressive insight I have been on as a student. Every detail was flawless in terms of how well it ran.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • I felt almost that I was dining with friends I've had known for a while. By the first night it was forgotten that I'd only met the people 12 hours previously.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The nature of the insight meant training opportunities were very limited. Deloitte tailored exercises and games to balance training, insight and enjoyment to a high level.

    4/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • Numerous talks by current staff allowed students to gain a decent judgment on what a full time role would entail.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Numerous employees from all aspects of the company were involved in the scheme, and therefore presented a view for the whole company.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Again, as it was only short, there's a limit to how large the effect was. But it has definitely given me lots of food for thought.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • We were reimbursed for travel expenses to a reasonable amount.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Every session involved meeting employees of different sections of the company, and this culminated in an evening meal with said employees as a chance to network.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • There were plentiful.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • As said above, the meal provided ample opportunities to understand all aspects of employees' lives.

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Anyone looking for a career in accountancy or finance in general should apply to this scheme, even if you use it to find out a career in accountancy isn't for you.

    5/5
