    The Role

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

    • I was given the opportunity to experience lots of different areas of the bank which is what an internship should be all about.

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

    • Almost every person I have met has been so warm and welcoming and my immediate team have been like extended family members.

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

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

    • I was worried I wouldn't have stuff to do but I have been busy doing meaningful things for the entire internship.

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

    • I have had projects to work on by myself or in a small group that were given deadlines and needed to be done by a certain time and date.

    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 have learnt a lot about talking to people. I have also learnt a great deal about how big companies operate and the systems they run by, how the heirarchy works and what makes them tick over day to day.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • We have had events running throughout my internship which I really didn't expect to see happening.

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

    • I knew what I had to do from day one and have been supported in trying to complete it.

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

    • They have paid a lot of expenses to give me the opportunity to travel to see different parts of the business and I have been given the opportunity to join training calls and development sessions but no paid for courses or training (which is fair enough really as I am only here for 10 weeks).

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • National Travel

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • There are opportunities to join the graduate scheme and they have set this out quite clearly so that you know what you have to do and by when.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • It has been great. Most the interns live together so we meet up almost every night to chat, go bowling or sometimes even go out.

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

    • The accommodation was piad for so that is a big chunk of cost that is removed. Other living costs and socialising is just like anywhere else so there is no complaints.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It was good. I haven't experienced it too often but it was fun when I did.

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

    • In the local area there is lots of sights to go see and opportunities aplenty to keep you busy.

    4/5
