    The Role

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

    • I has been a very well-rounded programme, with diverse work and exposure to more senior people. It has been a truly learning experience, which as a student is very valuable!

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

    • My opinion has been accepted by the fellow interns if assigned to work, and by the colleagues of the team I have been individually assigned.

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

    • Support was available when needed, and it cam exactly when it was needed. Everyone in my team is proactive, and there's nothing wrong with trying it on your own first, and then ask for help if couldn't get past a blocker.

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

    • It's a busy environment as that is the medium, but it depends on the team as well.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given just the right amount of responsibility.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Having done other internships in other investment banks, I can definitely point the difference in the training that is being offered. I have further developed across the board, and I have experience technology from another point of view. It taught me the importance of testing, which I will definitely put accent on from now on.

    5/5

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

    4/5
