    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I have had a great summer working for JP Morgan and given a chance, I'd do it all over again!

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Part of what made my internship such an enjoyable experience was the extremely helpful attitude of my team. They treat me just like one of them, and we go for team lunches/drinks very often.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I have received constant supervision throughout my internship, and have not felt lost at any point in time. My manager and the rest of my team are very approachable.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • At times I felt like I had nothing to do, and at other moments I was handling a number of tasks side by side. Having said that, it's nothing I could not manage.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Within my first week, I was able to take ownership of a lot of the teams functions. It really made me feel like I added real value.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I definitely think everything I have learnt so far will help me in my studies and my professional life. For one, I have become very comfortable with Excel. Also, the internship has taught me valuable interpersonal skills that are transferable.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • My team is very small, and the floor is very quiet, so it was okay. As a team, we had lots of fun.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I feel the placement is very structured and when I began, my team had a set plan for what I would be doing for the 11 weeks. Also, we had plenty of very well organised fun social events, as well as presentations by seniors in the firm.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Before we began, we received extensive training, and throughout, there has been a great support network that we've been able to reach out to.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I have not yet received a decision but I am hopeful.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • The interns arranged weekly drinks/clubbing nights.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Because JPM is in the City, the costs around this area are pretty high.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife around the area is good since there are plenty of bars around and central London clubs are almost walking distance.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • In terms of social events, there were lots. We also had a volunteering session, lots of presentations etc.
