    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The Insight provided a good introduction to the different service lines with relevant case studies. It also introduced us to essential skills like interview technique and commercial awareness. The best part was the diverse range of activities that were conducted. It was good to hear the experiences of employees first hand. More informal interaction and networking would be great.

    4/5

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

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • There were many service line specialists during the different case study activities to guide us along the way. Further guidance on the interview process would be appreciated. Guidance regarding skills such as personal impact in a business environment could also be more.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I feel I will be much better able to address case studies as well as interview questions after this programme.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The insight was well structured during the two days. However, the powerpoint slides that we were given had a different order which was a bit confusing to follow through.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Generally everyone was willing to answer any questions we had and give further insight to the firm. Atmosphere during the more informal dinner was also good.

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • There was personal training on EQ as well as commercial awareness. However, this was an area where I feel the firm could have provided more extensive training.

    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 great to hear the first hand experiences of new graduates to senior employees both in a formal and more relaxed setting. Employees were willing to share all aspects of their time at Deloitte.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Since we were confined to one room, we did not get to experience what a day in the office would be like for employees. More work shadowing and employee interface will be appreciated.

    2/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Being exposed to the different service lines helped to distinguish between two service lines which I was equally interested in. I now have a clearer view of what to expect at an internship.

    3/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I was reimbursed adequately for travel. However, since the insight started at 9am, coming from London, I had to arrange accommodation on my own for the night before!!


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • There were many opportunities to meet employees but mainly at a superficial level. The only networking opportunity was the dinner.

    2/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • The dinner was alright, however, I only got to interact with two people because the seating arrangements only had two rotations.

    2/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • I only found out a bit about this during the dinner.

    2/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • It's a good way of finding out more about the service lines and Deloitte as a company in general.
