In the spotlight with our Deloitte Scholar Evvie Soh

What was it like to intern at Deloitte?

Deloitte focuses on developing the capabilities of their employees, including interns, by providing them with a variety of learning platforms. As an intern, I could easily review or sign up for courses online to find out more about subjects related to my work. Deloitte has a strong learning culture and they place great emphasis and effort in guiding interns. In the process, I have managed to acquire both technical and soft skills.

What were your key takeaways from your internship?

I got to apply the theory that I learned in school, and gained a deeper understanding of how audit is performed as well as industry knowledge.

What did you like most about Deloitte?

Workplace culture is one of the largest deciding factor I deliberated on when choosing to join a firm. I have always read from the papers and learned that Deloitte has an inclusive learning environment. I experienced this for myself during my internship and saw how gracious the seniors and leaders are towards inexperienced interns. They would never hesitate to provide guidance even when we are faced with tight deadlines.

What are some of the highlights of your internship experience?

I took part in the Big Bash – Deloitte’s 2018 Family Day at New Mempari Beach at Sentosa – as an intern team leader. It was a fun experience and a great opportunity to network and connect with other employees on a personal basis!

What are your top three tips for interns?

#1: Keep an open mind and seek to understand the importance and purpose of every assignment.

#2: Do not hesitate to clarify your doubts.

#3: Take part in the events organized for the employees.
