    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Exposure to a number of projects and an incredible number of fun, enthusiastic employees from different levels of the company. Socially stimulating and developed more skills than the first 3 years of University combined.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Outside of lots of meals and drinks, working practises made me feel equally involved - regularly given tasks and deadlines that had relevance and importance to projects. Sitting in on meetings with clients for me was the ultimate sign that Deloitte valued me.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • As oppose to over guidance or over support I had a number of different contacts I could confidently speak to at any point in time. Deloitte encourages the independence that allows you to grow quickly but leaves you with a strong support network at the same time.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • As previously stated - more skills were learned in 6 weeks at Deloitte than 3 years of University combined. Soft skills in particular, the ability to interact with professionals at different stages of their careers and getting insight into how a lot of different companies operate.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The programme was nicely divided into 3 separate projects so that I could get an idea of different work areas within the department. At the same time it wasn't overly structured, I was able to arrange work in certain areas I felt were more beneficial as the insight progressed. The SVS champions were more than happy to make this possible.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Incredibly fun place to work.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Given time with partners, managing directors, training courses and endless opportunities to network, meet up with employees, ask questions and learn.

    5/5

  • 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?
  • The company for all intents and purposes treats you like one of their graduate students - total immersion into the company culture.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • While every opportunity was given to understand the company culture, at times things may have been masked by a desire for the company to impress.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • I'm very confident of what I'm looking for following this insight. Perhaps the greatest advantage of all.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • The pay was very good alongside a lot of free food and drink and any expenses were reimbursed.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Endless.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • There were 3-4 events a week to attend. All were well organised/attended and many were not internship specific giving a good insight into the workings of the company.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • 4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • 5/5
