    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed meeting people, both other interns and Deloitte employees who I worked with, however I feel being on scheme 3 has a great disadvantage to graduate job applications and many opportunities are not available and hence greatly reduced my enjoyment of the scheme.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I enjoyed the work I was given but again being on the scheme 3 I think is a great disadvantage as external candidates appear to be given interviews before interns so there is no benefit to being on the SVS.

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The team I was working with was very helpful and happy to answer all my questions.

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

    • With the internship only being 3 weeks I don't feel I have developed many new skills

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • The internship felt slightly disorganised and as it is a quiet time of year there often wasn't any work I could help with.

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

    • The office atmosphere is really nice and everyone is very friendly and helpful. All the other interns were great fun and I have made some very good friends.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere in the office was very relaxed. The people I worked with were always very willing to help and other that I did not work with gave up their time to talk to me about the company/ different departments

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The scheme felt a bit disorganised as it is a quiet time of year there was often no work I could be involved with.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • We had an interview skills session which was very helpful in preparing us for the Deloitte interview.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I feel being on scheme 3 of the SVS has greatly disadvantaged my job prospects compared to being on one of the earlier schemes which to me seems highly unfair and was not conveyed when applying. I feel a lot of opportunities have already been filled by earlier schemes and outside applicants who haven't completed the internship.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes other interns often organised drinks ect after work and following socials

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London is a very expensive city to live in and socialise but this came as no surprise

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There are many pubs and bars very close to the office, all of which are busy after work on most days

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

    • This wasn't something I asked a great deal about but I believe there are many opportunities for full time employees

    4/5
