The evaluation process at Deloitte is a fourfold process. The first criterion of evaluation is the feedback you receive from your coach and mentor based on the weekly presentations (project progress) and overall performance. The second is the midterm review, which happens around the 4th – 5th week. For the midterm, you have to organize all the work you have done so far into a PPT and present it to the senior management. You will be evaluated on the basis of both the content and delivery. The third criterion is the end term review which takes place in the last week. It is similar to the midterm review and here you will present all your work to a panel of senior management which will include your mentor and coach.
The last criterion is one of the most important criteria and if done well, will help you immensely during your project. It is the networking skills which you display during your internship tenure. Deloitte has an open door policy and people are extremely approachable and helpful. Hence it is very important to interact with managers, senior managers and subject matter experts on a regular basis, seek their help and get your work evaluated by them. The key point is to make your presence felt. Apart from this, one of the major areas to focus on is the PPT creation. A line often used at Deloitte is “your PPT speaks a lot about who you are”. Deloitte is very particular about the design and overall aesthetic of the PPT and the look and feel of the PPT is as important as the content.
Hence my major takeaways from the entire experience:
- Networking is very important.
- Make your presence felt.
- Delivery is as important as the content.
- Your PPT speaks a lot about who you are
- Be proactive and take initiative.
