Spring into Deloitte Review

Some parts were better than others. I enjoyed the networking meal a lot, the hotel room was really nice, lunch was provided, and the body language workshop by [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] was really insightful. However, no one I spoke to (bar one girl) expected the programme to be solely focussed on tax consultancy, since there was no programme description on the application page Instead, we were expecting an all-encompassing programme. That besides, some presentations were pretty dull, and I thought the vlog was a waste of time designed to provide Deloitte with free marketing material.

Well, we weren't doing any useful work for the company so I didn't feel valued in that respect. However, staff were friendly and we were well provided for.

There wasn't much independent work so there wasn't really a need for guidance/support. However, we were informed about the application process for the summer vacation scheme (SVS).

It was a two day programme, most of which was spent listening to presentations such as learning about their 'diversity' programme. A got a little bit of teamwork practice, however, but that hardly made a difference to my teamwork skills.

It ran quite well. Would have been better had we known the agenda.

Fair atmosphere. The group was friendly and I got a couple of laughs out of them all.

I mean, [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] did the body language workshop. That's a fair investment right there.

Barely. We didn't see a single person (besides HR) actually working their normal job. We only played 1 tax game, which was the most insightful thing in terms of learning about the job of the whole programme.

Company culture now-a-days consists solely of 'diversity', 'equity' and 'inclusivity'; the devlish trio of leftist-intersectionality ideologues. No one was wearing a suit, and we weren't being assessed, so I gather that Deloitte is rather laid-back. However, we didn't observe anyone (besides HR) in action.

More or less useless. However, I did determine that tax consultancy isn't for me; too restrictive and basic.

(answered from future perspective) I believe reimbursement is up to £50 for day. Let's see if they reimburse my AirBnB or just travel.

Only within the tax division. Networked over lunch and dinner.

The meal was exquisite to be honest. Would have been better if the employees rotated so that we could have spoken with a wider range of people. That was the only formal social opportunity as it was only a short programme.

I think they have a football team. They also have 'diversity' networks including faith networks. Not sure what else.

Only if he/she were interested in tax consultancy. Otherwise it wasn't that useful and I could have done with the extra two days to work on my uni work.
