About You
I found the work to be genuinely varied and at a level appropriate to my abilities.
I felt I was given an appropriate level of responsibility- I never felt out of my depth o,r conversely, patronised
I received personal feedback regularly and written feedback during my Partner interview- perhaps earlier written feedback would have been nice but I can't really complain
Not directly applicable to my degree but the structure of a proper working day will no doubt help
The Company
I was never bored or without anything to do
Great working atmosphere and very helpful and friendly colleagues. The firm has a great atmosphere in general
I felt valued by Deloitte from the start. There were several online training procedures that were compulsory, which were essential. Furthermore the previously mentioned feedback helped my development
Very well as on the placement you are essentially a junior member of staff- taking on all the responsibilities of a first year graduate.
You only work in one office but you do get a good understanding of the atmosphere and culture there.
I have taken a job at the firm- I enjoyed the placement sufficiently to want to keep doing it
Everything Else
I was paid and reimbursed expenses- no complaints here
Yes, we had a residential induction day where we met all the other students from taking part in the scheme at other offices
As above- we also had a social after work at the end of the scheme
Yes- many of the staff were taking part in a triathalon, seemed like a great thing to get involved with
Absolutely, a great scheme and a good length of time- not too long so as to occupy the entire summer
