    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed it a lot and felt that I got a good idea of what its like to work at Deloitte. I felt that the company took good care of me and made sure that I enjoyed the work I was doing.

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

    • I felt very valued and they were always very nice checking up on me and making sure that I had work and that I was getting along okay.

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

    • The management and supervisors were very good at explaining and giving guidance. I felt that I learnt a lot from the management and they shared a lot of their knowledge which I found was really good as that made it easier to transition into working on projects when the manager explained the context and their own personal insights about the clients.

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

    • I was rather busy most of the time but on some occasions I ran out of work and had to chase work to keep myself busy. This was mostly due to the vacation season.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given responsibility but since some of the work was rather technical I had to have guidance and was unable to complete all by myself. This had more to do with the technicality of the work rather than the fact that they wouldn't give me the responsibility.

    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 felt that I learnt a lot and gained new perspectives that I can apply to my studies. I believe that with the knowledge I have acquired will add another dimension to my analysis of certain business scenarios that I would have otherwise not considered.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere was very friendly and not very hierarchic. You could go up and talk to the partners and everyone made sure that I was having a good time. It was serious at times when people are working but if you had any questions or were wondering something everybody would take their time to explain. I thought it was a good mix of seriousness and fun. I would categorize the atmosphere as rather relaxed.

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

    • The organization of the internship was very good. It started with an induction where you got to see how things worked at Deloitte and then throughout the internship we had check ups and everyone made sure that we were doing okay. We also had socials with the other interns and it generally felt that the internship was very well thought out.

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

    • The firm made sure that I gained the most out of the internship and everyone put effort into involving me in projects. They made sure that I would understand what I was doing and there was always someone there to explain and teach me about how things work.

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

    The Culture

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

    5/5

    • Since the internship was in London everything was rather expensive, especially living costs.

    2/5

    • Its very good but as mentioned it is very expensive for the most part.

    4/5
