    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • Absolutely fantastic opportunity with a truly word-class firm.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • Extremely valued. The dates of my internship fell within my department's "busy period," so there was an endless amount for me to contribute to!

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Half a day's training about my chosen service line, and then sent to get stuck straight in to the work. Didn't need any more than half a day for a mere 3 week internship! Everyone in the office was incredibly helpful, so the support was ongoing.

    3/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Invaluable insight in to the professional services industry and what such a career involves. The skills learnt are transferable to any workplace!

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Seamlessly unstructured. I relished the opportunity to get stuck straight in and not have someone holding my hand. The onus was on me to get what I wanted out of the three short weeks, in a similar way to getting the most out of the graduate role.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Mixed. It was particularly busy at the time that I joined, so the office has been rather quiet. The out-of-work socials have been great, though.

    3/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The internship was only short, so little training was required.

    4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • I spent my internship as an Associate. That's the same job title and salary as a first year graduate. With that, the work I got involved in was very similar to that of a graduate joiner.

    5/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • My internship gave a great insight in to Deloitte's purpose, working culture, values and its clients.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • My internship cemented, in my mind, that a career in a professional services firm really suits me.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • I received an annual salary of £23 750, pro-rated accordingly.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • The open, collaborative atmosphere of the office environment made getting to know other employees a breeze.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • A Facebook group set up by Deloitte's Graduate Recruitment department allowed all the Summer Vacation Scheme students in the London office to communicate regularly, so we were able to meet up for lunch, drinks after work or a night out regularly!

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • I was able to get involved in a volunteering project, supporting children in a local primary school with their studies in Mathematics. This is one of the many community development projects that staff can get involved in, along with sports teams etc.

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Absolutely.
