    The Role

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

    • I'd say 85%. There were always a lot to be done - partly because I always asked for work. Also, my team was always on hand to help.

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

    • Very valued actually. There were lots of responsibilities handed over to me and my work was really appreciated by the team.

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

    • Most of the time. All I had to do was ask.

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

    • Very busy (I do understand that my experience is very different to my other colleagues I have spoke to). I guess it depends on you, your team and what needs to be done. I was in a very client facing role.

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

    • Lots of responsibilities. Aside my normal tasks, I worked on almost 10 other projects - again, my experience here is very unique due to my role, team, personality and my line manager.

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

    • In the general scheme of things - I feel my skills developed will be more useful at the work place than on my degree. Mainly because most of them are technical skills but the soft skills such as presentation, multitasking, working under pressure, teamplaying, etc will be applicable anywhere.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Very relaxed. very very relaxed. Much better than I anticipated despite the busy nature of my work.

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

    • Again, there were others in my scheme (different teams) who had a different (not negative) reaction to mine. From the bank's perspective - it was decently organsised. I'd say 70% but due to the line manager's efforts it shoots up to 88%.

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

    • They did what they were supposed to do I think. Nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events

    Working from home
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very. Although - witnessing redundancy 'face on' skews my decision slightly to the left. Also, a few internal processes do not work quite as well as I had hoped. But still a positive feeling overall because of the firm's reputation.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Social scene was very good - then again I was an intern so its to be expected I think.

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

    • This is quite subjective - I worked in The City (of London).

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

    • N/A - I went home after work.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Perhaps - but didnt really look into them

    3/5
