    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Very useful day to find out more about the roles available within Technology and find out about the graduate scheme at Deloitte.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • It was only for a day so did not really have chance to feel valued. However based on the impression I got from the Deloitte employees they really value their staff.

    2/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The guidance and support was good and I learnt a lot about myself and how I worked as a team. We were also given lots of feedback and guidance on our client engagement and presentation skills which was very useful. However, I felt as though it was slightly unclear as to what the next stages of the fast track system after the insight day were as some of the information we recieved was slightly conflicting.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The presentation and teamwork skills I learnt from this have been incredibly useful, especially when it comes to group; coursework projects at university, and I feel they will also be useful later on in my career.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Very well structured and professional, with a clear layout and adequate breaks and an area of the office to ourselves for the day.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The atmosphere was fun, with icebreaker games and poster introductions as well as the business game, with engaging speakers, but it was also professional, and suitably serious when it came to the presentation and client work at the end of the day.

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • They invested a lot in us- as well as staff from recruitment thy also had several different speakers com to talk to us, and each group had a facilitator who stayed with them throughout the day. The presentations were also monitored by an internal expert on presentation, again taking time out of his day, in order to give us feedback.

    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?
  • Very well- I feel like I gained good overall impression of the firms culture, as well as an excellent understanding of the type of work I would be engaging in on a daily basis through the business game

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • I gained an excellent insight into the company's culture and how it is different from other firms, not only through the presentations but also from the networking opportunities.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Very helpful- the business game gave us a clear demonstration of what we would be doing on a daily basis if we were to join the firm.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I was reimbursed fully for my travel expenses, and as the insight was only a day long, I felt this was adequate.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes- as much as could reasonably be expected in a day. There was a networking event over lunch in which we met new joiners, trainees and placement year students, which was helpful in giving us an insight into how the firm worked at a lower level.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • They were good, however I felt perhaps that I would have been nicer if there was a wider range of employees from throughout the firm, not just trainees and people who have just started, as they were not able to answer all of my questions

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • They were briefly mentioned during the talks, however, as the insight was only a day long, there were other more important things to focus on.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Yes the insight was overall very engaging and useful and allowed me to develop my interpersonal skills.

    3/5
