    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The event was really enjoyable. The Deloitte employees as well as the students who attended the event were all very approachable and friendly.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • This was a two day insight so the event was mainly talks with some group activities and mock interviews. I felt valued in the sense that they had gone to a lot of effort to organise the event and had employees from different areas in Tax take the time to come and speak to us.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • There were many chances to ask any questions you had about anything and the presentation they gave ensured we were well informed about the recruitment process.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Very useful, we did case studies and mock interviews similar to ones we would do if we were interviewed for the summer vacation scheme.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The first day was very talk an presentation heavy and the second day was more interactive (we did case studies, group work and mock interviews). Maybe it would have been better if the activities were more varied on the first day because sitting in one room all day listening to talks can be quite exhausting.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Surprisingly relaxed. I felt as if I could ask any questions I had and everyone was very approachable, I didn't feel scared at all.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Invested a lot of time and money into the two day insight. The question isn't really applicable as it was only a 2 day insight.

    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?
  • Was useful as we spoke to people from several departments and we had a sit down dinner with employees from the firm.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Seems as if they give you a lot of responsibility when you first start which is cool, they invest time and money into teaching you new things. They want enthusiastic hard working people, don't necessarily need to go to Oxbridge, LSE etc.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Very useful, before going I thought Tax Consulting sounded really boring and I was only going because it was a Deloitte event and there was only a choice between Tax and Technology. However, I am so happy I went because it surprised me how interesting the job is and I am now going to apply to their Summer Vacation Scheme for Tax Consulting.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • They offer a reimbursement of £50 for travel expenses.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • We had dinner with the other students as well as some Deloitte employees at the hotel and after dinner we had the option to go to the games room and socialise.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Enjoyable and relaxed.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, they told us about the drinks events which they have every month, they have Christmas parties, they get involved in charity work, they have sports teams etc.

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Definitely, it was extremely useful.

    5/5
