Yes. Project management responsibilities involved orchestrating the project and managing project timelines and deliverables. Also given lots of responsibility within client-facing settings and when presenting back to clients. Data driven tasks were also responsibility heavy when manipulating and transforming very large datasets.

Lots of support. Every interns are given a people leader who is the go-to person for support regarding project work, uni work, and any wellbeing queries. Additionally, one each project you will have a manager and a project team who are always available for more specific project based questions.

Brilliant company culture - there are so many opportunities to speak and network with senior colleagues within your own unit and outside units. Everybody is keen to help and support junior colleagues as they are the upcoming generation of the company. The Deloitte values are a big part of the firm and are very well respected. The best company I have worked for regarding atmosphere and company culture.

I thoroughly enjoyed my placement at Deloitte due to the variety of work that I was able to take part in. You are able to seek your own work to fulfil your interests or alternatively try out new tasks that you may be new to and unfamiliar with. I also enjoyed the social aspect of the job - there are so many other placement students and graduates that you can work and social with which adds to the great atmosphere at the firm. The opportunities to learn and develop new skills are endless - would definitely recommend taking on courses and training.

Yes

Very people focused so focus on soft skills and displaying these during interviews ie. communication, teamwork and willingness to learn and develop. Subject of degree is not that important as long as you are keen to learn and open to different types of work
