    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed my placement because of the perks - free London accommodation, having lunches and drinks paid for - more so than the content of the work

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

    • I do not feel like my colleagues knew what I was working on or doing and that I could easily be idle

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Less so. Hands off approach forced me to find out things by myself but would've benefitted from more basic guidance considering this was my first proper job and I didn't know basic things like using the phone or email. It would've given me more confidence to seek more work.

    2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Not very busy - the tasks I was given could easily be dragged out over time but not really high pressure deadline

    1/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • not much - never owned anything but merely helped with others, didn't feel as if what I was doing was important

    1/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I think it will help me for my confidence in my next placement

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Relaxed (Digital office), young people, get on with people around me, often chatting

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

    • varied from intern to intern so obviously no system - I felt like work experience students were far better set up. I wasn't given introductions to everything one on one but in groups

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

    • online training but was dull and forced

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • Appealing - their grad scheme offer Masters and if I had longer time to bond with my team I feel I would be valued more I believe I could get a job through lloyds

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • intern culture was brilliant! loved living with fellow interns and having lunch with the people in my office. the colleague culture was good too -pub trips often (almost too much because I was too tired to go meaning I missed out on valuable bonding and mingling time)

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

    • A lot! But less worried because of the free accomodation

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

    • London nightlife not as good as I expected but still good

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

    • not really

    1/5
