    The Role

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

    • Deloitte proved to be a really fun working environment. The assignments I was set were interesting and everyone made me feel very welcome.

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

    • Everything I did was followed by review and usually appreciation, so very valued.

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

    • My supervisors allowed me to ask them questions all the time and gave a lot of guidance

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

    • I was kept very busy, particularly at CRC. I often could have stayed late working if I wanted, but they made sure I didn't.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I felt that a lot of the work I was doing, whilst interesting, was not that pivotal and I was doing work that others did not want to do at times.

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

    • The skills I developed will be invaluable for my career and for my studies. Time management and working in a team are applicable skills.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Refreshingly friendly, everyone was extremely kind and it felt like a fun team to work amongst.

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

    • The internship was well organised and I always had things to do.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I had to do some online tests, but there was not that much investment in me yet. There would be if I had a full time role though.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Future employment prospects are appealing and I hope they become a possibility. It is almost October and a conversion interview is yet to be scheduled however.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • The social scene was good but fellow interns clearly all had very varying budgets and lived in varying locations.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I found it extremely high, considering the costs of transport into London as well. The bars 'on site' after work were fun but not catered towards students or interns.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Not that applicable as I would always have to take the train home long before.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes, I even played football for the Audit Advisory team!
