    The Role

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

    • The work/learning process is really intellectually rewarding. You work at your own pace, but there is a lot of support from managers and other interns and graduates.

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

    • Most people were really bright and valued my skills as well.

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

    • There is a constant feedback process throughout the internship. Management will tell you what to improve and also expect that from you for the next work you submit.

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

    • You can work at your own pace, you use your time as effectively as you want.

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

    • I think you can understand the internship more as a teaching/training process. Some essential resources of analysts such as company management access and sell side access are not given to interns.

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

    • My improvement was very visible to me, not only regarding technical skills, but also for developing a broader picture.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • I think people are rather calm and a bit reserved. In general, everybody is really willing to collaborate and to help.

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

    • Structure of the program is really good. You will always be busy, meet interns from the other areas and have social events as well.

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

    • I think the internship is almost a 100% investment. The benefit for the PMs is limited at this stage of your career, but the time they invest is really valuable.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events

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

    • I think a career here can be extremely interesting.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Social scene and atmosphere was good.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London is known to be expensive, but salary and benefits are more than enough to cover this.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London nightlife is absolutely amazing, if you find the right people to go out with.

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

    • There is a charity event and multiple other opportunities organised by the company to get involved.
