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

    • Vast majority of colleagues tried to treat me as part of the team, thus it was easy to accommodate and make few friends.

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

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

    • I am satisfied with received level of responsibility - the more you are trusted by the colleagues the more responsibility you get - so its usually down to intern abilities.

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

    • Internship in Investment Banking is always a school of life - you can't get such experience anywhere else.

    • Well-organised, with minor issues.

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

    • Depends how we define personal training. I treat my whole placement as a personal training and in that terms it was "Everything". If we only consider additional trainings - then it was pretty limited.
