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

    • The concern for how I was doing by most people and whether I was enjoying myself felt really great

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

    • As indicated the support was really there and everyone wanted to help. I had analysts always asking me how I was doing and making sure I was involved in what they were doing

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

    • I had enough work to do, lot of exposure and was not boring at all. In terms of being busy, I wouldn't say I was as I went into a role where 'busy' to some is normal. I never missed a deadline and I had enough time to work

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

    • There was a lot of exposure. I was in meetings with senior management and this really felt great and I had work to do following those meetings. I felt I was part of something and contributing to the team

    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 am done with my degree but I believe these skills will help me fit into this organization and I can work anywhere and succeed

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • I mean I like it, I like calm. There is a bit of calm and friendliness where you can talk to everyone, but you also know everyone is busy so you are respectful of other people's times as well - once you can do that you will find the atmosphere really accomodating

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

    • Good. Really good. I mean we had training and got to our desk and emails and logistics were set up. I didn't have to ask for anything. A good thing to add maybe will be staffer review to find out which interns are doing too much and which ones are doing too little

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

    • I had two weeks of training in Ghana, another two weeks of training in London. That to me is a lot of investments

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    4/5

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • It was like this bunch of people who came from all over and then suddenly became a class and like all classes, we became friends and yeah we moved along

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

    • This is London, so yeah

    3/5
