    The Role

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

    • I get far more enjoyment from my internship than I was expecting. My internship is the combination of great working environment, steep learning curve, friendly colleagues, and collaborative working style.

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

    • I personally think I am valued and trusted by my colleagues. We interns have real responsibilities, as well as interesting tasks to handle.

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

    • At Lloyds, all interns have access to supports from graduates and even senior staffs. However, bear in mind that the senior staff can be really busy, so they may not have enough time to teach you everything. Most of the time, you have to find out the answer on your own.

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

    • My working hour is from 8:30 A.M to 6:00 P.M, so we have a good balance between work and social.

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

    • Pretty Much. However, I don't think interns have a handy amount of work to do, due to the lack of in-depth knowledge and experiences within the industry.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • My skills developed significantly, and that definitely assist me in my degree studies.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Really collaborative working environment.

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

    • The structure of the internship is really good, especially at Global Corporate.

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

    • I have not hear feedback from the Emerging Talent Team regarding whether I can stay at Lloyds, so I am not sure. Because I am one of the few international students who intern at Lloyds, and I did a great job. So If I can get an offer, at least it shows that Lloyds is fair company who are willing to sponsor talents from overseas?

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

    • Company Parties/Events

    Above 25 days holiday

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

    • I would definitely join Lloyds if I got the offer.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, absolutely. We work really hard, but we also have drinks together a lot.

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

    • Lloyds's office is based in central London, so it must be expensive.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There are plenty of bars, restaurants, and shopping areas around my office.

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

    • Yes, there are plenty if you have extra energy.
