    The Role

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

    • My internship was ok. Depending on which service line you join, it will be more or less exciting: Auditing and Consulting teams go out to client sites more often and Consulting does more varied work, whereas Tax (where I was) is a bit more settled, I was out of office only a couple of times. But overall it was a valuable experience to get to know Deloitte and to decide if Tax service line was a good fit for me.

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

    • They were all very friendly and helpful, but if you happen to join at a busy period it might take a while for them to start delegating tasks.

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

    • Given their time constraints, supervisors assigned to me did all they could to explain the wider context of my tasks and what they expected of me.

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

    • Some days it took me a while to find what to do, other days I was swamped with work and had to stay a bit longer (but nothing crazy in terms of working hours).

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

    • Grad level tasks.

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

    • Don't know yet, but having worked in financial services tax I can assure that I did learn a lot about different types of securities, funds and taxes levied on them.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Busy, and at the beginning a bit cold as people seemed to mind their own business. But the more people you get know, the better it gets, and you never feel alone sitting in a large open-space office.

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

    • Deloitte HR prepares really well for every intake, how well your department is prepared varies from one office to another.

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

    • Deloitte employees did not shy away from explaining stuff to me as they all assume that you'll be joining in a year as a grad.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Deloitte is a huge company with lots of big clients and career prospects, but you have to ensure that the service line you join is a good fit for you.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • We did meet up a couple of times, but unfortunately I was the only intern in the whole building (others were spread across the campus in other buildings) and did not see them very often :(

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

    • Standard central London.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • A few good pubs around chancery lane and Holborn areas, Farringdon and Shoreditch are not too far.

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

    • Not really, it takes a while to get to know London.
