About You
The Spring into Deloitte insight was a great few days tailored to helping us finding out whether Deloitte is the place for us. I really enjoyed the interaction that I had especially with the other students.
I felt that the Deloitte staff really took the initiative to make us feel welcome throughout and made us feel like part of the firm despite the insight only lasting for a few days!
After group activities we received guidance in the form of debriefs which was really useful and helped us as a team develop during the insight.
I got to learn which area I would be most suited to within Deloitte and it guided me in the direction of pursuing a placement year.
The Company
The insight was very well structured. Facilitators knew the task back to front and really helped us gain an understanding of the aims of the tasks.
The atmosphere was good. It was by no means an exhilarating atmosphere but at the same time I felt that it was good given the professional atmosphere.
I felt that the company invested in us by providing a great set of facilitators as well as senior members of staff whom spent time getting to know us on a more personal level.
As it was only an insight, it is difficult to get a full flavour of what it would be like to have a full time job but we were told that the team activities simulate real working tasks one may come across.
Deloitte is a very people focussed company and this came across really well through presentations.
It encouraged me to take up a placement year in an accountancy firm
Everything Else
My expenses were fully reimbursed! Was very happy with that as I came all the way from university.
There were a few opportunities, however I felt that this could have been improved! Given the short nature of the insight I thought that the opportunities were okay.
As mentioned I tended to socialise whilst I was having lunch or after the days events. The staff were all very conscientious and informative.
We were told that there were a few out of hours activities. For instance Deloitte had a team in the local league.
I would recommend it if you are considering a career in this sector.
