    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Over the two days we participated in a variety of business games, a session on how to project the right body language, a mock interview as well as several presentations on different areas of the business and a networking supper at the hotel. The structure helped by allowing each part to build on the last, allowing me to derive the maximum information and enjoyment.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • There was a real atmosphere of camaraderie throughout the visit, due in no small part to the employees who led the sessions and my fellow students who were doing the course. I felt relaxed and happy throughout which allowed me to more fully appreciate and understand the sessions. A good job all round.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The firm clearly devoted a lot of time, money and talent towards this course which shows the excellent attitude they have with regards to nurturing development at the pre-graduation level. I felt my every need was taken care of and they were really trying to make the scheme succeed.

    4/5

  • 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?
  • Many and varied employees gave detailed presentations on the work and expectations of each of the main parts of the business. I was able for the first time to understand fully the experience of a full time worker at Deloitte and this made me very excited for any future interactions I will have with them.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • I definitely feel as if I have a better grasp of the company's culture after attending the programme. The networking supper in particular helped me grasp the ins and outs of life there in a more informal setting.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • I definitely have a much better idea of what I want to do with my career after attending all the sessions provided. Each aspect was skilfully explained so that I understood more fully the role of each part of the company. I am also inspired to perform further research of my own into certain fields of study as a result.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • There was a simple expense form which allowed me to reclaim travel expenses. Additionally all food, drinks and accommodation including internet access was covered, which was very generous. I have no complaints in this regard.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • There were several opportunities to meet the employees of the firm, including the networking supper and several breaks over the two days. They each felt very approachable and were willing to talk about any aspect of work and life at the company.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Although it was only a short course, there were plenty of opportunities to network in a social setting. The interactions I had were very valuable in helping me decide which sector to go into as I received a deeper insight into the life and culture of the company which it would be hard to get anywhere else.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • The employees told us about certain social aspects of the corporate life and activities outside of work. I was very interested in this and wished there were more opportunities of this nature.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Overall I was extremely satisfied with the course in general. I feel strongly that Deloitte would be a great place to work and I recommend this course to anyone interested in a career in this sector. I commend the people who run this course.
