  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • All Deloitte colleagues I have met are friendly and sociable, making the company a comfortable and generally relaxed place to work. The support network is fantastic, and there are opportunities in so many areas to develop both professionally and personally. We work with a variety of clients which creates challenges and is a great chance to learn varied skills.

In assessment centres, interviews etc ensure you are professional yet sociable - have conversations with your fellow applicants as well as Deloitte employees, create rapport and have a positive attitude. Take your time when answering assessment questions, and think about multiple viewpoints.
