    The Role

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

    • I thought the placement was a good experience to life in a bank, but I was often left with little or no work available to me which could make the days drag (I would often ask for work, but there would be non available)

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Whilst the people I worked with were nice, at times it would feel I was more in the way rather than being a member of the team

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

    • Whenever I had any issues and would ask for help everything was always explained so that I was able to get on with my job

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

    • Most of the time I would have work to do for half the day and be left with nothing to do for the rest of the day

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Everything I received seemed more like check-work rather than having my own piece of work to do which I felt could benefit the bank

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Whilst I did learn a bit about how banks function and different roles in a bank, the work I received didn't push me and seemed quite basic

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere in my office was great - everyone was friendly and willing to help

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

    • It often felt like they hadn't thought through having me. They hadn't got me a desk so if the full team was in I'd have to sit elsewhere, and I didn't have work which pushed me nor that filled up my days

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There was mandatory online training to do, but other than this there was nothing offered

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

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • After this internship, I have definitely decided not to work for Lloyds nor go into banking

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • We were brought together due to the internship challenges which meant we could bond over experiences, and meet up in our free time after work

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

    • This was fine as I lived in an area I had previously for university, meaning I had plenty of people around whom I knew

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

    • The nightlife was great - there is always something to do in London

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

    • There are lots of opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work

    5/5
