Analyst Review

As a technology consultant, your role will change frequently. I am currently a Functional Business Analyst and Development Team Lead on a Technology Delivery Project at one of our Clients.

Deloitte gives you outstanding opportunities across your role and additional training. Outside of the apprenticeship training, there is a vast range of training sessions which you are encouraged to attend which will give you any knowledge and skills necessary to excel in your role. There are regularly opportunities to obtain industry recognised certifications and qualifications. I've achieved several of these during my apprenticeship which are really valuable.

I get to work with outstanding individuals on a daily basis and am part of a high-performing team. I get challenged regularly but always have the support I need to succeed. I really enjoy my work and Deloitte offers so much flexibility in giving me the roles and projects that will benefit me and my career.

Deloitte has a large apprenticeship program. There are strong internal support structures which mean that I've always got several contacts I can reach out to to discuss anything apprenticeship or career related. I have regular meetings with my coach and my people lead which gives me an opportunity to ask any questions I need. With a challenging role, it can sometimes be difficult to balance work with studying but there has always been support when I've asked for it.

Given the nature of consulting, I often find myself having multiple different managers. This gives me a range of different contacts that I can reach out to for support on different matters including client work; course materials; qualifications; career goals etc. My team are always happy to answer my 'stupid' questions and will take the time to explain things thoroughly. Managers will have 'check-ins' with me frequently to give me any feedback and help support me in my role.

My training provider hold quarterly reviews and provide me with feedback and ensure that I'm happy in my day - to - day work. I get feedback from my coursework and classes are generally well run with interesting topics and stretching course work and exams. There is often extra support available.

My training and qualification, in terms of content and outcomes are closely aligned with the work that I do on a day to day basis. This can often be very beneficial, as I can turn up to my work with some experience and understanding which allows me to perform well.

There are regular socials and events for your team, department, apprentices, analysts etc. These often lead to a very busy few weeks before christmas! Deloitte allows you to give time each month to volunteering opportunities and social programmes. I've got a good group of friends within the firm and enjoy having a game of pool / fifa in the office after work.

Yes

Deloitte will give you opportunities and a career which is unlike many others. There are an unbelievable amount of different pathways you can take. Your job will change regularly and there is such support for you to grow and develop. I get to work with some of the UK's best businesses and our biggest clients.

Keep an open mind and have a positive attitude. It will go a long way. It's less about what you know and more about what you can know. Take care over your application and participate well at the assessment center. There's lots of support available online to support you when applying.
