    The Role

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

    • So far, the internship has been very valuable. I have had my first experience of working 9-5 in a big company for a sustained period of time and have been given serious work to complete, which I was not expecting.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • All of my colleagues have been very friendly and made me feel very welcomed throughout.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My line manager is there whenever I need him or assistance in general. Everyone is happy to help.

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

    • I've been busy. Some days more than others due to the availability of data for the project I was working on but most of the time I was busy.

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

    • I have been given quite a lot of responsibility. We are dealing with important work, which we must make sure is up to a good standard and correct.

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

    • It will certainly benefit when I come into work and should help my university studies by opening more doors because of the experience.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Good atmosphere, everyone is friendly and can ask them whenever I got confused.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Yes, it was very organised. My 10 week plan told me exactly what I would be doing each week so myself, my team and line manager could know.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The scholars scheme in general is an investment from Lloyds but we have completed a professional bankers course and had to do the online training.

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

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

    National Travel

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

    • I have enjoyed it so far and working here in the future is something that I am definitely considering.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Very good. Everybody in the Leeds and Halifax offices are living in flats together (student halls). There is around 30 of us in total and we are all quite close and go out for nights out in our free time.

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

    • Travel on the train each day cost around £25 a week with a railcard. Accommodation was provided so that helped. Living in any city centre is always going to be expensive but there is lots to do in the area but it is pricey.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • In Leeds, the nightlife, bars and clubs are great. Very good social scene

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

    • Our charity challenge helped this in our teams but if you wanted to do this, it could be found.
