About You
I thought it was a really good way of getting students thinking about a career in accountancy! I particularly enjoyed meeting other like minded students and networking with the staff from Deloitte.
The staff were so friendly! I was definitely not expecting that! It all helped to make me feel valued throughout!
We received a lot of guidance through presentations which gave us an idea about which service line would be best suited to us.
I felt like my communication skills improved, especially those whilst working in teams!
The Company
Very well structured, all tasks were kept to a strict time schedule.
Over the few days, the atmosphere was great! I had a really good time!
The company spent a lot of their resources during the insight to coach us!
It is difficult to know what it would be like with a full time job given that we were only there for a few days and although the tasks were meant to simulate the working environment, it was difficult to forget that this was a training exercise!
I learnt a lot about their culture and I felt that they have a great work hard play hard ethos!
It gave me a good idea and I chose to pursue an internship in this industry.
Everything Else
Travel expenses were covered by Deloitte.
I got to meet a couple of graduates over the few days and often got to speak to the senior staff doing the presentations.
The networking activities were fun, I felt that there could have been a few more activities but given that it was only an insight I thought that they made good use of the time they had!
They mentioned that there were a few different network groups as well as sports activities.
Yes! I had a great experience and I think anyone considering accountancy should try and sample what a big 4 firm has to offer.
