    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I felt that the insight was very group exercise heavy. This is good if you have not had any experience with group tasks but I felt that they could have elaborated further with the case study.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I was only there for 2 days so apart from the staff spending time with us, I was not made to feel valued in any other way.

    3/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • We were able to contact HR as and when needed. They provided advice with regards to the next stage of the application process.

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

    • I guess it's fair to say that with the group exercises, my teamwork skills have been enhanced. My degree is unrelated to accountancy so there isn't really any scope for how it will improve my current work.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • I thought that the days were well structured with adequate times for breaks.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • The atmosphere was initially quite tense as people seemed to be "on their guard", which made it difficult to get to know one another. As the insight progressed, the atmosphere greatly improved.

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The company spent time in coaching us in the form of debriefs after the exercises. I thought this was a really useful way of learning.

    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?

    • The focus was really on group exercises which I guess at the end of the day what audit at Deloitte will involve. So in this instance it did help me to understand what it would be like to have a full time job.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • The people that I came across were all very friendly and took the time to explain things to us. To me, I am impressed with the people culture because of this.

    4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • It gave me a further understanding into working at a big 4 firm. At the end of the day I will still apply, so I guess it played some part in helping me to prioritise which firms I am most interested in.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • I had my travel expenses reimbursed which is fantastic since I came from Bath!

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

    • There were a few informal activities during the day where we got to meet members of the firm including some graduate trainees.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • There were not many social event opportunities as this was only the Spring Into Deloitte scheme.

    3/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • I enquired about this and was told that there are various sports clubs which you can take part in. They stressed "if I have time!" however.

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • I would recommend it to someone who really wanted to improve their teamworking skills.
