    The Role

    • Obviously not every task was interesting but on the whole had an entertaining year in a relaxed office environment.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Treated as a graduate rather than an intern, and good efforts were made to include me in projects and events.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Had regular catchups with my appraisor to see how I was getting on, and encouraged to request feedback after major projects and tasks. Colleagues always happy to help if I needed it.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Sometimes when many in the office were away at client sites or on holiday there was little work I could assist with, but I was generally kept busy and I was never given an unreasonable workload.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Was able to help out with important tasks and was trusted to get on with smaller ones, but work I produced that would be seen by a client was always reviewed by a manager before being issued.

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

    • This year has given me the opportunity to develop communication and IT skills, has improved my discipline and work ethic, has provided a valuable insight into industry and the world of work, and provided fantastic experience that will help me in future employment.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Although everyone was hard-working the environment was relaxed and light hearted.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Ties in nicely with the university academic year and Deloitte's graduate scheme. The company ensures you are well prepared before you join.

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

    • As a placement student I didn't attend college to begin my accountancy exams, but the company was always willing to pay for me to attend relevant courses, and offered me a job (conditional on my degree) at the end of it.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • National Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    Above 25 days holiday

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Varied - office was right in the city centre so easy to go to student bars or slightly more expensive places.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Office in Leeds city centre so lots of bars and clubs close by.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Opportunities to volunteer, network, get involved in office sports teams and many others were available.
