Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship, I was given lots of opportunities to learn and chance to carry out meaningful work whilst being included and supported by the team. The company culture was welcoming and seemed like the company cared about employees with the strong focus on wellbeing. It exceeded my expectations, the team made sure that interns experienced as many different aspects as the day-to-day role as possible and made sure that we felt like part of the team. I would go back.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Deloitte to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte
There is no expectation for you to have any technical knowledge just be aware of current events. It is mostly important in the interview process to show enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Whilst doing the internship it's helpful to write down everything that you've done each day (they gave us a log) so that you can refer to tasks you completed/skills you learnt in the final interview at the end. Whilst completed the internship its also important to ask lots of questions (no-one will mind) and if you don't have much to do email and ask for more work.
