Consultant Review

I really enjoyed the internship. I was challenged with the work they set me, but there was always support available if I needed a hand with something. I enjoyed the responsibility I was given when working on the projects. During my 6 weeks I worked on about 6 projects, all very different in character, so it gave me a great insight into what a graduate job could entail for me.

All my colleagues were friendly and made sure they introduced themselves to me. Even other people in the office who I wouldn't work with introduced themselves also. The office had a great atmosphere and I knew that if I had any questions or problems I could happily turn to anyone in my office.

I was assigned 1 supervisor during my internship. They organised work for me to do with the managers and gave me good support and guidance if I ever got stuck and my current manager was unavailable. They introduced me to everyone in the office and showed me examples of the work they were doing to give me a taste of the other projects available at Deloitte. They also invited me to social events at Deloitte which really enriched my experience as I felt like a fully integrated employee.

Most of the time I was very busy, because when I completed the work I would usually be able to ask my manager straight away for more work. However there were also times when there was a little waiting around. This is in the nature of the job and I used this time to complete training exercises and get organised for the next job.

I was given a great deal of responsibility, as much as a graduate. This was great as it was a chance to be stretched and then prove myself. There was one particular project where I was given enough freedom and responsibility to write a presentation that was to be delivered to a partner. I was able to suggest ideas to my manager and also the partner when we were giving the presentation.

I have most definitely gained skills for life during my time at Deloitte. It has given me invaluable experience which will aid me in getting a future a job. It will also help me with my degree studies as I can now see the relevance of my degree to the working world

Atmosphere was brilliant. Everyone was friendly and I knew I could always turn to someone if I needed help or advice on anything.

The internship set up was well organised. We were all given relevant and useful training before doing any work. My supervisor organised which projects I was working on, and they chose projects which gave me a good taste of everything. There were a couple of other interns and the company/our supervisors also organised a couple of socials for us.

The company provided necessary IT training as well as an induction event held in a hotel which focused on the Deloitte code. The induction event was brilliant as it also introduced to other interns across the country.

Future employment prospects are based on an interview and more crucially, my performance during the internship. The reason they hired me as an intern is because it is a better way of recruiting graduates the following year. Prospects for employment here are very good - if you are good enough they will find somewhere for you to work. This is one of the perks for working for a huge global company.

There was a great social scene. I played in the 5 a side football team alongside/against other colleagues which was a great way to meet other employees, as well as have some fun after work. Furthermore we had a couple of socials intended for the interns. These were typically food followed by a few drinks and were great fun! They were also paid for by the company.

Manchester is quite affordable.

I didn't go out with any colleagues during my internship, but I know Manchester has a vibrant nightlife. Manchester has something for everyone.

During my internship there were many social events that I was invited to. I also played some football. From what I gather Deloitte has a cricket team also. There are also many opportunities to do volunteering work or similar activities with Deloitte.
