    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I really enjoyed the insight 2 days and found them very informative.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I felt very valued; Deloitte made a great effort to bring in a wide range of its people to run activities with us and answer any questions we had.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Lots of guidance on job opportunities available in the future.

    4/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • People skills was a big feature of these 2 days - meeting new people and embracing differences is a life skill I enjoyed practising. In terms of degree studies, the internship was not helpful, but it was not designed to help specifically with this.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The best thing about it was the structure; everything seemed relevant and useful and we were kept very busy for 2 days. Very well-organised and very enjoyable.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • A very friendly general atmosphere (which I have not found at other firms' internship days). No condescension or being talked down to; everyone was there ready to help. The other people there were all like-minded, not over-competitive and I made some good friends.

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

    • The company are going to provide a 'conversion interview' for a fast-track place onto their Summer Vacation Scheme (if successful).

    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?

    • We did lots of 'Business games' which mirror the day-to-day roles of Deloitte's employees. I think it would be difficult to ever really know what working for a firm would be like until you're actually there doing it, but they got pretty close.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Very much; a friendly culture of hard-work and rewards.

    4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Massively helpful; I completely changed my mind on what service areas I wanted to apply for having learned more about them all.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • I was reimbursed travel expenses (up to £50). They also paid for food for 2 days and accommodation (and evening meal) at a Marriott Hotel which was very nice.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Yes; I met at least 15 members of Deloitte, one of whom gave me her card and said to contact her if I had any questions. They emphasised the importance of networking.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Good; evening meal. There wasn't much time for social activities as the days were full of business games and talks.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Yes; plenty of opportunities, clubs and societies. Sports teams, free alcohol events etc.

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Absolutely.
