    The Role

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

    • The team made me feel welcome and the work I done added substantial value to the project.

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

    • I was treated as a Graduate and they placed responsibility on the work I was doing. In addition they were keen to give me an overview of the area and tried to promote it as a Graduate career.

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

    • The Manager on the project delegated to his 2nd in command to become my Manager. He was easy to approach however sometimes I felt he was overworked and thus unable to spend sufficient time with me.

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

    • Kept busy as the project was due to go live in 4 weeks.

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

    • I was given responsibility to match others - I was expected to complete pieces of the overall jigsaw and was working directly with client-facing material.

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

    • Invaluable insight into Consulting - I had only read about it previously but it allowed me to develop time management and working to deadline skills.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Pretty dull as we used to sit next to employees of the company we were scheduled too. Perhaps because I was new there were already cliques from employees who had been there before.

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

    • Deloitte Scholar scheme has the 'buddy' system which works well and any niggling problems are quickly remedy through him/her

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

    • Deloitte is a market leader in this respect - if you want to build up skills in business I can't find a better company to do it at.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very appealing - Deloitte are keen to hire the best people before they graduate.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Group dinner/drinks every night, couldn't ask for much more...

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

    • Firm pays for your hotel and train tickets to client site!

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

    • Non-existent, not the fault of Deloitte as we were far away from a large city :)

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Many - Deloitte has industry leading societies and clubs
