    The Role

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

    • Poor placement, slow pace of work.

    1/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Organisation was going through a restructure and this was having an impact on some of the team in a very visible way. No attempt was made by any member of the team to integrate myself. There were no team lunches or events. Only time I sat down with my team was at our desks.

    1/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Very little, although some feedback was given, it was rarely actionable feedback

    1/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I had a good amount of work overall, but I very much had to search for it, mostly from other teams.

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

    • The team was overstaffed so there was not much work to go around. Dealt with this by finding work from external teams.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I learnt about banking processes which is very useful for my personal life and a commercial banking career.

    The Company

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

    • Positive, relaxed atmosphere

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

    • Very poorly, did not hear anything from the team responsible for the internship, other than for for our charity challenge & training calls over the entire internship.

    1/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • 4 generic phone calls over the 10 week internship.

    1/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised/Company Gym
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The pay is very appealing, but the work is demoralising.

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • The interns were very effective at organising themselves for socials. The high number of interns also makes the internship more enjoyable.

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

    • The same as any other central london office. Quite expensive.

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

    • Central London. Good if you know where to go.

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

    • Nothing organised by Lloyd's
