    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • It was difficult as you are treated as a graduate but it is very rewarding as you learn something new every day.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • It is emphasised how important you are to the firm throughout the different levels.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • There is a very clear system of support at Deloitte and you are helped if there is something you are struggling with.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Some days there was a lot of work; during busy season in particular.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a lot of responsibility considering I was straight out of High School.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I definitely learnt a lot of time management skills and I appreciate the value of communication and understanding what you are doing before you begin.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • At times it was very fun and at other times it was empty: such is the nature of audit.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It was very well organised. There is a dedicated team and the placement has been running for a long time so it is like a well oiled machine.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was given lots of training. The same amount as the graduates; which was very positive considering I was only there for 7 months.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Sports and Social Club

    Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I very much enjoyed the placement and I would consider a job with them, however, probably within a different department.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • I definitely made some friends for life: during the dark times of busy season there is definitely a strong sense of cameraderie.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London is obviously a very exensive area, but Deloitte often subsidises drinks. Accomodation is very expensive and I would reccomend packed lunch unless you want to spend 7 or 8 pounds a day.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Pretty good, the most favoured place of my department was K box - a karaoke bar. Fabric is just down the road. although I doubt too many company expeditions have ended up there.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yeah lots, I played hockey a couple of times for Deloitte and I went to a paintballing event. I also ran the London Marathon through Deloitte which was probably the highlight of my time there.
