    The Role

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

    • A fantastic way to spend a summer.

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

    • I was treated as part of the team from the start.

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

    • Everyone is very busy and the pace is high but people will always make time for an intern.

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

    • Projects have short deadlines and you have to work hard if you want the job at the end. But that simply means the internship is more representative of a graduate role.

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

    • I was given ownership of a project from the start and it was fantastic to be doing something that was genuinely a key part of the teams overall goals.

    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 terms of business experience i think there is little that can compare.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • I work on the trading floor so pace is high.

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

    • Many organised events made networking with other interns fun. Boat parties, rollerdiscos etc.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • In terms of investment they are keen for you to grow skills and they want to take you onto a graduate roll at the end, providing you have shown commitment.

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

    • Company Parties/Events
    2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They value the CDP intern program very highly.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • A large number of organised events.

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

    • It is London so living and socialising costs are very high. Still, wages are higher in London...

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

    • Its London!!

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

    • Again, its London so there are boundless opportunities but hours are long (9-7 or 8-6 minimum) so there is not that much time outside of work.

    3/5
