    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • All colleagues very kind and keen to give feedback throughout the process. I felt like a valued member of the team in which my work and opinions were important.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was given an extensive introduction to the company and project for the first few days which helped to establish how my role fit in to the big picture. I was given support if I asked for help but also allowed to learn on my own.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was busy enough to feel like I was taking part in a realistic job but not so busy as to struggle excessively with the work load.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a great amount of responsibility for an intern. It was incredibly rewarding to be given ownership of particular parts of the project.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • During my internship I developed both technical skills, such as Excel and Powerpoint skills, to be used in both my degree and further work, and appropriate social skills for the workplace.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Due to the project-nature of consulting I didn't socialise much beyond my immediate team whilst within the office itself, but numerous evening activities were fun, interesting and gave an opportunity to network across the firm.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The internship was clearly very important to Deloitte and they made effort from beginning to end to ensure that it was effective and the interns were getting as much as they could out of the experience.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I was given the opportunity to participate in any extra training schemes that I wanted to that were available in my time doing the internship and Deloitte invested a large amount of time and resources to ensure that we could develop and learn as much as possible.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events

    Working from home

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I would love to go back for the graduate scheme but don't yet know the outcome of this.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There were numerous events organised by Deloitte to give the interns opportunity to socials with colleagues across the firm and the other interns specifically. Couldn't have asked for more.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Very expensive as the internship took place in the centre of London, but there were many events sponsored by the company in which the interns were not expected to have to pay.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • The internship was in the centre of London and thus plenty of opportunity for evening socialising.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Whilst doing my internship I participated in a number of extra activities, including a Community Day at a local school and a charity company football tournament.

    5/5
