    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I really enjoyed the insight and Deloitte made a real;l effort to make us feel welcome. They were very hospitable even including a dinner and a hotel

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • The employees at deloitte went above and beyond my expectations to make us feel welcome, even taking time out of their evenings to talk to us at the networking event and answer any questions we had

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • There was a lot of guidance and a lot of opportunities to ask questions- 2 of the graduate recruitment team accompanied us throughout.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I learnt good teamwork and presentation skills which I have since been able to use as part of my degree. I also found the information about the company's different service lines incredibly useful when it came to future career choices.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Overall, it was well structured, especially as I was attending the first ever scheme of this sort. However, some of the details had not been thought through- there was not enough time for toilet breaks and only 2 toilets for a group of 40. However, the staff running the scheme said they would amend this in the future

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • It was very fun and engaging- there were 2-3 interactive group activities each day, which broke up the days nicely as we were not just listening to presentations. The speakers were also very entertaining

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • A lot- not only did they provide us with very insightful games and gave us mock interviews and feedback on those interviews, but we had a talk from a professional body language expert on interview and networking skills

    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?
  • A lot, although the business games were sometimes unclear and what they actually wanted us to do had little relationship to the job

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Extremely well, not only did we have talks on this, but we were also able to find out about it at the networking evening and over dinner

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • very helpful, although some of the games were a bit disorganised making it difficult to precisely tell what each service line did just from the games alone

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • reimbursed for expenses up to £50


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • A lot- not only was there a networking event and dinner, but we also got group feedback on the mock interview from our interviewer

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Good- although the intern to employee ratio was perhaps a bit too high meaning I did not get the oppurtunity to ask all the questions I would have liked.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, however it was hard to get all of it across as well as find out other things about the firm in only 2 days

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • yes- it was excellent and I really enjoyed it

    5/5
