    About You

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

    • I really enjoyed the majority of the sessions and insights, but felt that the session run by PBA dragged on and was less informative.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • There was slight condescension at some points, but by-and-large those running the sessions gave off the image that we were very much able to fit into a company such as Deloitte.

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

    • The insight included mock interview and commercial awareness sessions, and all those around us were always more than willing to discuss any details of the task, their job or Deloitte.

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

    • Some of the networking skills and interview techniques will be transferable to other jobs.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The sessions were near-seamless and the days were jam packed, but a better look at time-keeping would not go amiss.

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

    • The people were very friendly, other participants were willing to be involved and the atmosphere was very positive.

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

    • We had a few instances of development, but in general I think it was more tailored towards giving us exposure to the industry.

    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?

    • The sessions gave most of the information but the ability to network and ask real employees added to it.

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

    • Through talking to the employees and having generic talks on the company we gained a good insight into how Deloitte works.

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

    • The sessions on service lines gave us all the information to decide, and we had tasks on each service line too to further supplement the decision making process.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

    • We had a limit of £50 for expenses to get to and from the insight, but we were also provided lunch, dinner, breakfast and a night at the Marriott.

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

    • We had specific networking sessions at dinner, but also had the ability to interact with employees at all times.

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

    • At dinner, having more than one person to talk to - or perhaps rotation of the people - would have given us a more well rounded experience.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • There wasn't a huge emphasis on this, although they did mention a few of the sports teams and opportunities for charity work.

    3/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Because of the 'insight' it gave me into professional services as a whole and Deloitte, I feel the experience would be very helpful to people who are struggling to make their mind up.
