    The Role

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

    • The placement far exceeded my expectations. I learnt a lot from this company.

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

    • I was treated as a full time employee and the majority of my colleagues were unaware that I was on a placement. I was given key responsibilities and roles with FTSE100 companies.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The appraisal process in place is very comprehensive and I was assigned a personal appraiser.

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

    • The job roles vary dramatically, so there were days when I was too busy and very slow days. On the whole, the workload was about right.

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

    • I was given far more responsibility than I anticipated. I was responsible for large chunks of work and had regular contact with senior clients.

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

    • I have learned incredible amounts during my placement. These will be incredibly in the future, but may not apply so much to my studies.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The Deloitte offices were a little quiet, but that is because the majority of people work at the client offices, myself included. So it is therefore dependent on the client.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • There was a specific Industrial Placement team and many people I knew I could contact if I had any queries.

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

    • The estimated spend on my training was £40k - £50k over the course of a year. This massively exceeded my expectations and given me a fantastic foundation from which to build my career.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I have every intention of rejoining the firm if given the chance.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • The placement students were very much integrated with the 250 new graduate joiners. There was always someone and something to do.

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

    • I spent Monday-Friday's away from the office, so I had a generous expense allowance which covered the majority of my 'socialising'.

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

    • I was in London so my night life was amazing. I found something happening around the streets. always lively atmosphere.

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

    • There were seemingly clubs of all varieties associated with the firm.
