    The Role

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

    • PLEASE NOTE: This review was for a placement at Lloyds TSB prior to Lloyds TSB merging with HBOS to become Lloyds Banking Group. (The RateMyPlacement Team) Everyone at LTSB was very supportive. I had a great balance between being a student, but at the same time being given other responsibilities that at times, really challenged me.

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

    • I got on so well with everyone during my placement. I am still in contact with alot of my team even though I am back at university.

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

    • My manager was so helpful and incredibly supportive. She gave me real and interesting tasks to get on with, and i was never afraid to go and her ask her for help.

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

    • At times,it could be quiet but generally I had quite alot to be getting on with, and even if my manager didnt have anything for me to do, I could always ask others members of the team who were happy to give me work!!

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

    • I was given enough, but not too much responsibility. I was asked to complete tasks and then feedback to my manager so I was never really afraid of giving it a go, because she would always be honest with her feedback.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Even if i dont go into a career in HR, I have learnt some very valuable life skills and what I have learnt will definately come in useful in my final year.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone was incredibly friendly and chatty, and it was lovely to go out for a drink after work, however people still took their work seriously and knuckled down when they had to.

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

    • I think the scheme could have been more structured. My feedback sessions were a bit random.

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

    • Not a great deal. It wasnt looked favourably upon for students to do extra training for their job, however the salary was good for the year, bearing in mind I didnt have a degree.

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

    1/5

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • They tried to organise events but I didnt get on well with all the students!

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

    • London is quite expensive so going out was always quite alot, however I lived back at home in kent so didnt have to deal with living costs in London!

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

    • There isnt alot in the city itself, a few nice restaurants and pubs but not much else!!

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Not really!!
