    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I found it an extremely useful and insightful experience, allowing me to gain a full and in-depth understanding of working at one of the world's leading professional services firms.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Everyone was extremely friendly within the company and my team itself. I was made to feel welcome and was quickly fully integrated into the team and its daily activities.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • I received a good level of support and guidance, but this could have been better organised and made clearer to me who my "mentor" was from the beginning.

    3/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The internship is not particularly useful to my degree and university studies, but it is certainly useful towards my career prospects and planning.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • I did not feel that the insight was particularly well structured, and this could have been better organised. There was some confusion with the structure of the placement and what was being communicated to us. This was probably in part due to this being the 1st year in which the new structure was being used.

    2/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The atmosphere was excellent throughout the insight and I throughly enjoyed the experience overall.

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Not much.

    3/5

  • 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?
  • It was extremely helpful.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • It helped me a lot, especially seeing this from inside the company.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Very helpful, as it allowed me to assess if Deloitte and the tax department was the correct career path for me.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I was paid and interview expenses were rapidly reimbursed.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Good opportunities - a number of socials were organised.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • These were well organised, but there could have been more in place.

    3/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes - although it would have been nice to have been more involved in these during my insight.

    3/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Yes - a highly useful and nourishing experience. Although there are things to improve on, I would certainly apply again.
