  • 4. How valued do you feel by Deloitte?
  • - Feedback is regular, constructive and encouraging. - Bonus structure is poor. - In first year everyone gets given a blanket rating of 'fair' which doesn't seem sensible given that some people work much harder than others and don't get appropriate recognition for it. - Overtime isn't paid, and sometimes there is a lack of incentive to stay late and try hard because the reward system is poor. - Involvement and inclusion is very good.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • - Induction is excellent. It is a three week residential course with the tax analyst intake including a week of technical training, a week of soft skills training and a week of client simulation. All of this helps prepare you for the office and makes sure that you can hit the ground running. - We are allocated a buddy and an appraiser when we join, which works as a good support system. The buddy is someone we can ask 'silly' questions to, and our appraiser is someone who helps chat through career progression, objectives and targets.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • - While I recognise that my salary is good in comparison to other school leaver schemes, I do feel that it does not adequately meet the cost of living in London. - I have needed to take out a £1,500 loan to support the costs of living in London (travel, rent, food, social etc)

    2/10
