Rating

4.4/10

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My days generally consist of rolling forward files i.e. updating them from last year to this year and checking that the financial statements are consistent

5/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have learnt to use Excel more proficiently and also how to talk to clients and colleagues in a professional manner allowing me to develop good relationships

7/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy it but it is very challenging. Having come straight from school the social aspect is very limiting working full time and the pay is below standard.

4/10

4. How valued do you feel by Deloitte?

I feel valued by Deloitte as my manager and my seniors are always eager to help me not only in work but should I have any personal issues I feel comfortable to discuss them.

8/10

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

My Programmme is relatively well structured but it goes without saying that there is lots of space for improvement. It is difficult working the same as a graduate but getting paid far far less.

4/10

6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

I do not receive much support from my training provider and it is not customised to the individual but more like a mass factory which is a pity as I know many could benefit from it.

4/10

6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

I do not receive much support from my employer and it is not customised to the individual but more like a mass factory which is a pity as I know many could benefit from it.

4/10

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

My salary does not cover all my costs on a monthly basis and I do not consume much other than what is necessary i.e. food, rent, travel. This is a struggle for my day to day life.

2/10

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

There are not many opportunities outside of work which I enjoy as most of them are alcohol fuelled. Sadly there is much more scope for activities which do not include drink or gambling.

2/10

9. Would you recommend Deloitte to a friend?

9b. Why?

I would recommend if you are a school leaver to take a gap year or study at university before embarking on this dry career. It is worth living and experiencing as a student as this is one of my biggest regrets,

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte?

I would advise you to thoroughly understand your service line and expectations as well as the current economic climate and big headliners in the news.
