    The Role

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

    • Everyone has been very friendly and welcoming. We were given responsibility from the outset and encouraged to learn new things.

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

    • It has been uncommon to be given bad work just so the permanent employees don't have to do it. They are willing to take the time to sit and explain the bigger picture and how to do things that you have not done before.

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

    • We were given a very strong support system throughout the bank, from analysts to Managing Directors.

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

    • Some days were very busy and others were completely quiet but where possible they tried to find a balance, by having a dedicated 'staffer' to find you work and track your capacity.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I have been pushed to learn new things and given responsibility right from the offset

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

    • I do not study finance so the training does not directly assist my degree but transferable skills such as networking, working accurately, and taking responsibility and ownership over my work will help me in my degree and beyond

    5/5
