About You
I found it an extremely useful and insightful experience, allowing me to gain a full and in-depth understanding of working at one of the world's leading professional services firms.
Everyone was extremely friendly within the company and my team itself. I was made to feel welcome and was quickly fully integrated into the team and its daily activities.
I received a good level of support and guidance, but this could have been better organised and made clearer to me who my "mentor" was from the beginning.
The internship is not particularly useful to my degree and university studies, but it is certainly useful towards my career prospects and planning.
The Company
I did not feel that the insight was particularly well structured, and this could have been better organised. There was some confusion with the structure of the placement and what was being communicated to us. This was probably in part due to this being the 1st year in which the new structure was being used.
The atmosphere was excellent throughout the insight and I throughly enjoyed the experience overall.
Not much.
It was extremely helpful.
It helped me a lot, especially seeing this from inside the company.
Very helpful, as it allowed me to assess if Deloitte and the tax department was the correct career path for me.
Everything Else
I was paid and interview expenses were rapidly reimbursed.
Good opportunities - a number of socials were organised.
These were well organised, but there could have been more in place.
Yes - although it would have been nice to have been more involved in these during my insight.
Yes - a highly useful and nourishing experience. Although there are things to improve on, I would certainly apply again.
