    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I thought it fantastic event, great experience, well organised with lots of interaction with staff from all levels and service lines in the firm.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • We were well looked after. It was evident a lot of time and money had been spent organising everything; our overnight stay and dinner were even paid for.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The main support and guidance received were in shape of how to apply for the SVS, interview tips and common pitfalls. There was also a short mock interview session, where the interviewer went through all the competencies and gave feedback on our answers.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Picked up some great skills I wont be forgetting in the near future. We were also given a sort of crash course in what all the different service lines do via case studies. This is not something many students do and would know how to tackle in real life situations/assessment centres.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Very well structured. There was a clear intention present throughout each day. We were briefed on the schedule for both days.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Upbeat. The staff/recruiters kept us enthusiastic throughout the days. All students were equally driven to get the most out of the insight. The new graduates who joined us for dinner were very friendly, keen to answer any of our queries and gave a good vibe about the office.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • An established (famous) body language expert gave a talk on the importance of body language, how it is perceived etc. She also spoke about good networking techniques, how to make a good impression & personal branding. A lot of people found it interesting.

    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?
  • Definitely gave a good all around, positive impression of the firm. The speakers spoke to their roles, their day to day activities; opportunities available upon joining, secondments, travel, variety of work and their own highlights of working there.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Enormously. From the new grads who joined us at dinner to the partners who came to speak to us, they definitely build a good/friendly image of the company ethos. The new associates who joined us at dinner were very open, friendly, keen to answer any questions and generally spoke of their time at Deloitte, how it has helped them develop.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Very helpful. Upon beginning the event I already had a good idea of the different service lines, was intent on going for a specific one for the internship. However, through the course of the two days, the people I spoke to and the range of sessions helped me realise that I would be better suited for a different service line. It has also made me more intent now going to work at Deloitte.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Had lots of interaction with staff from all levels throughout the two days, from new grads to partners. The case studies we did integrated working with current staff, who were keen to divulging as much info about their area as possible. At dinner, we also had several staff scattered throughout the tables. They were very friendly and open, really keen to help us with questions and gave tips on how to get past interviews.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • There werent any specific networking/social sessions with other students attending. Dont think it was required. However, I did meet a great range of people throughout the two days, in between talks and at dinner/drinks.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • We only heard of the 'Deloitte Day'. Was expecting to hear more of their community involvement, other than the olympics.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Valuable insight if you're a first year. you are also fast tracked for an interview for SVS before general dates open. Do it!
