    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The overall experience was great. I strongly feel Deloitte has found the right balance between insight into the company, networking opportunities, and employability skills workshops.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • The programme was well structured, we have been welcomed by Deloitte partner and assisted during both days. Excellent networking opportunities, friendly Deloitte employees, tailored presentations and case studies, and the mid-programme dinner made me feel valued.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • As above, all Deloitte employees were extremely friendly and helpful - during the formal part of the programme, lunch breaks, and the networking dinner.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • While not necessarily useful for the degree studies, the employability-related skills, lots of teamwork and presentations, solid bit of commercial awareness as well as interview tips will be extremely helpful for internship applications next year.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • We were given the agenda and all the printouts during both days of the programme. The programme was structured, letting us go smoothly through the day packed with case studies and talks.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Everyone was excited about the programme and the company, but relaxed and friendly at the same time.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • All presentations and case studies were delivered by employees from relevant business lines from various regional offices. Additionally, we have been given a special talk from an external speaker about communications.

    5/5

  • 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?
  • The presentations and case studies were designed to help us to understand the roles of different service lines. It strenghthened my understanding of the services offered by Deloitte. Talk by recent graduates also helped to understand the transition from the university to full time position at Deloitte.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • The programme put an emphasis on the company culture and values as a differentiating factor. Clearly, the alignment of values between the potential employee and the company is a requirement of potential career.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • While the programme did not change my decision, it helped me to understand the roles of different service lines and this is its main strength. All my colleagues felt better informed.

    3/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • All participants have been paid for the accommodation and reimbursed travel expenses up to £50.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Over two days, we had the chance to meet tens of employees, from recent graduates to partners. They were happy to answer all the questions, both formal and informal.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • During the evening of the day one, we have been invited to a dinner. There were 6 employees for the 30 students group, giving great networking possibilities. Employees rotated between the tables, giving us the chance to meet experts from different business areas.

    5/5

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

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would definitely recommend this insight to anyone wishing to learn more about professional services and potential career at Deloitte. This event boosts your CV and interview/assessment centre skills, and may fast track your application to the summer internship at Deloitte.
