    The Role

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

    • It wasn't a natural fit for me, working in Retail Business Risk and working with a lot of data and excel spreadsheets, but it is something that I have really loved despite being unconvinced beforehand, and my analytical and excel skills improved massively

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

    • The team I worked in - despite being small and spread across the country - were all very supportive of me and made sure that I felt part of what they were doing. They also gave me tasks that actually made a difference, and sometimes tasks they felt I had best knowledge in.

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

    • My manager, knowing she wouldn't be around for a significant chunk of the 10 weeks, gave me the opportunity to work across two teams, but was also on hand if I ever needed any help. Similarly, it was very easy to approach my other team with any queries. They made sure that I knew from the start that no question was a stupid question.

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

    • There have been some days that have been less busy than others, but they will always have more tasks for me if I ask

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given responsibility to ensure that a pack was up to date and sent out on Monday evening each week in time for a Tuesday meeting. I also took ownership of an excel document designed to update data on a weekly basis.

    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 excel skills have developed, which I have already used in studying data for my university thesis.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • There was good rapport amongst the colleagues in the office around me, and all of the interns in the same building got on really well both in and out of work.

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

    • It was seamless for myself, but I've heard others did not have it so good.

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

    • My work colleagues gave me plenty of time free to be able to network, and actively encouraged and helped with it.

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

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

    National Travel

    Company Parties/Events

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

    • As of time of writing it is looking hopeful I will be offered a place on their Graduate programme.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • We lived in accommodation together, and there were events almost weekly for us to all get involved in, so we became an extended family very quickly.

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

    • I mean, it's London...

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Again, it's London, so there's so much to do.

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

    • It was actively encouraged
