    The Role

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

    • Generally positive experience. I enjoyed it and do not regret applying at all.

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

    • It was a problem at first, but this really comes down to your relationship management skills, you need to get along with people from the first day in the office, find out what they are working on, etc.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Active support all the time. Again, depends on yourself, i.e. you need to go out and ask questions untill you fully udnerstand. But most of the people in my team were really helpful.

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

    • Wasn't really busy at first, but then as I went deeper and deeper I got that 'perfect balance'

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

    • I did minor/solo projects at first, so I was my own boss. Then I was assigned to a project and did my part - of course noone will give you a Project Manager's job because of the high responsibility and one's lack of skills and knowledge.

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

    • Really improved here, as I developed a lot of skills, both tangible and soft skills.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Both formal and informal. I thought it is a suitable for an Investment Bank (of course you won't have a pool and a table tennis!)

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

    • Very well organised, lots of events, networking, going out, etc. 10/10.

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

    • We had a lot of networking with seniors, encouraged to workshadow, every week there were senior speaker sessions, etc.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    National Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    Working from home

    Healthcare from home
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I still have 1 week to go, but hopefully I will get an offer :-)

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Absolutely perfect

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

    • With the wage you get it is really affordable

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

    • Not in my area, but literally 10 minutes of tube and you have everything you need. Depends what office are you in, because JP Morgan has a bunch of those.

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

    • CSR programme, other social activities (almost every week)

    5/5
