    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • It was about learning interview techniques and discovering more about the company - it wasn't a struggle, it was a great couple of days finding out about Deloitte and learning useful skills.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • We had a meal with some of the people who'd given us talks in between the two days - they were so friendly and chatty and honest about life working at Deloitte. They also kept praising us for our ability to get this far past the entry tests!

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • People were always on hand to answer questions during the tasks we had to complete, everything was well explained and everyone was happy to help.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The body language talk and interview help will be useful for putting the best impression of myself across later in life! A better understanding of all the areas of the business was good too. Not sure any of it really applies to my degree studies though.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Some talks seemed to overrun a little, though that may have been because of our questions. They did give us a fair few breaks for tea and coffee though, which was much appreciated!

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The tasks had time limits on so sometimes we were all just working hard to complete them, but each had interesting elements. The time really flew by!

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Bringing Judi James to speak to us about body language was great, and they had people from all areas of the company come to discuss their sections, it felt like they'd given up a fair bit of their time to be with us.

    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?
  • It mainly focussed on life at the Reading office (where we were) and I was aiming for a career elsewhere so it would be different, but they did try to give us an insight into each section of Deloitte as a whole.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • As before, mainly focussed on the Reading office, however the meal was great for discussing all the things you can get involved in with Deloitte.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • I'm still uncertain, but realised I have probably made the right choices so far. The way it gets you a step closer to a summer internship is fantastic though, as that will be invaluable help.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • We were allowed to claim up to £60, which was more than enough to cover my travel.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes, we met them during tasks and then at the meal which was fantastic.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • There was a lot of wine being passed around - though I don't think anyone had too much!

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Seems like there are loads of sports teams, group activities, and the annual meetings in other countries sound amazing!

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Yes, it was a great way to see Deloitte and get further up the application chain.

    5/5
