About You
The insight provided me with a great insight into the corporate life and a career in accounting. This insight at Deloitte fulfilled my hopes to gain a clearer vision of my future career path. Although the whole internship lasted for a short period, the presentation and activities were all really helpful
We were all not treated differently from and by other employees which made me feel valued during my entire time at Deloitte. The advisors all were really helpful and seemed genuinely interested in us. We were encouraged to ask many questions and to engage with other employees to get a better feel of the company.
In my point of view, the focus on personal development rather than ‘selling’ the company was one of the best aspect of Deloitte’s Spring Programme. All the skills that I have acquired during my time there will be certainly very valuable when going through future assessment centres. We were accompanied by advisors all the time and could chat with graduates about their experience and ask for tips.
I haven’t learned much technical knowledge about finance aside from what a career and daily tasks would involve. However, my transferable skills have improved due to the new and uncertain situation. It was the first time for me being part of such a large organisation and networking with so many new people.
The Company
The insight was very well structured. At no point of time did I felt bored or that this internship is unorganised. Everything followed a clear schedule and our days were packed with many networking events, presentations and tasks. This kept us busy throughout the internship which I thing was a positive thing.
The atmosphere was great at Deloitte. Everyone was motivated and focussed to get the most out of the insight. It was great to see that the employees were very welcoming and to talk to us. It was not as competitive as I have anticipated at the beginning though which is a plus.
The company has invested a lot in me which I think will be very beneficial in my future career path. We have been through several activities, we were shown presentations about the career possibilities and had the chance to network with employees. Through this I have gained valuable skills that will be helpful later in life.
Being present at the company itself, talk to people at Deloitte and to listen to their company presentation definitely helped me to gain an understanding of what it would be like to work for Deloitte. However, I am not sure if I can say now if I want to work there later but it was a great impression nevertheless.
The company culture is great and full of passion and motivation. It makes you better person and gives you an incentive to become better. Everyone is extremely talented and smart. But this is exactly the culture or environment you want to be. If you talk with employees or play close attention it will more than enough to gain an understanding of the culture.
Everything Else
I can definitely recommend this internship to anyone who is interested in a career in consulting. Everything was well explained and can give you the information you need to decide on whether you want to pursue a career or not. Especially for us first year students it is a great opportunity to experiment and see what we like or what we do not like.
