    The Role

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

    • I liked my colleagues, but the work was so boring. I was busy and had stuff to do for the second half of the internship, but the first half was very boring. The work itself is not stimulating, it's just a lot of fairly mundane tasks to do at certains times of day every day.

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

    • They were really nice and welcoming and helpful, great team.

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

    • My manager was always helpful.

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

    • For the first 5 weeks there were times of day where I had nothing to do and was incredibly bored. Thankfully I was given more stuff to do and so the final 4/5 weeks were much better and I was generally quite busy but not too busy.

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

    • I was given as much responsibility as I could have, which was quite a lot but not that much. The issue is that I don't have enough experience or knowledge to be given more responsibility.

    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 study French so it won't help my degree at all. It may help me in interviews and for my CV but I don't want to go into banking so I doubt it has helped much. Although I did of course gain office experience and a feel for what it's like to work in Market Operations at Lloyds bank.

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • It was generally pretty good in my team who were mostly in a good mood and fun etc.

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

    • Pretty well organised. My team were very organised in what they had prepared for me etc.

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

    • I'm not really sure how they 'invested' in me...

    2/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Above 25 days holiday

    Travel loan
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • It's a fairly decent company to work for; the pay is good for the jobs themselves. Personally I just don't want to work in a bank so I probably won't be working for Lloyds in the future.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes. It was great that we all lived together in student accommodation paid for by Lloyds.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Edinburgh - quite expensive, almost as expensive as London. I had my accommodation paid for by Lloyds, so it was only general living costs I had to pay for.

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

    • Edinburgh has a pretty good nightlife, especially during the Fringe

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

    • Not work related? I guess yes to an extent as Edinburgh's quite a big city. During the Fringe there is of course endless stuff to do, it's amazing and so fun
