    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed the insight day, however not as much as some of the other firms. I got the impression that we were just being rushed through the day without really much care being shown towards us.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The other students were very supportive whilst performing the group tasks.

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

    • The facilitators stated the objectives clearly but it seemed that they were under a lot of pressure to get through the tasks and as a result they weren't fully able to answer our questions in enough detail.

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

    • The tasks kept us busy but we still had regular breaks to refresh ourselves.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • None unfortunately as this was just a one day experience. I can imagine much more responsibility is given on the internship.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I learnt more about Deloitte and the different service lines which played a part in helping me choose which service line I wanted my internship to be in.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere was good, although we did not get to see too much of it.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The day was structured very well and I was always aware of what tasks would be coming up and when.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The company invested by paying for the resources and the facilitators for the insight day.

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

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • We were told that taking part in the Insight day does put you in good stead in terms of getting a place on the internship.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • The social scene was not as great as in some of the other insights that I have taken part in.

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The offices were in Central London and the surrounding area does not look cheap for living and socialising.

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

    • London has a great night scene but we did not get to experience it!

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

    • No activities due to the insight day being solely one day.
