    The Role

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

    • The work environment is exceptional. The work is great as well, depending on which part of HSBC you are placed in. You will have work most of the time but there will be some times when you just sit around asking for work and no one will be able to give you any.

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

    • Absolutely valued. The work you do, the quality of it.. It will be given proper merit.

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

    • Anytime I have asked for it, I have gotten it. Wonderful Management/Supervision/Work environment.

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

    • Busy in the first 4 weeks. Whenever I asked for work I was given, so If you have the opportunity, there will be work. Second placement not so much, but still quite good.

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

    • In the beginning not that much. But as you progress through the work and ask for more, you are given more and more responsibility.

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

    • Absolutely nothing to do with the degree studies, which is great! It is actual work you can put your name to and learn actual skills you will need in the future.

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • Joking around, laughing, getting to know each other and doing great work. Couldn't be happier.

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

    • The first 4 week were as organised as possible. It depends on the placement you are put in. The second 4 weeks not so much.

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

    • The organisation is widely revered and is one of the biggest in the world. If you get in, you can go anywhere!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • It is as good or as bad as you want it to be. It is all up to you. You have the freedom to get to know everyone if you want to and participate in social activities as you please.

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

    • Very low costs compared to other places.

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

    • Quite a lot of clubs and quite a lot of people around. You won't be disappointed.

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

    • Depending on the type of activities. In this particular place not so much, but overall in the company there is a lot of opportunity for any type of activity.
