    The Role

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

    • Great learning and work experience. We had a number of intern insight sessions across all businesses of the firm. Everyone was willing to meet me for coffee and answer my questions (I had almost no prior knowledge starting the internship and I feel like I learned a lot!). Social life was good, good work life balance. The other interns are very nice as well.

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

    • Everyone on my team was super nice and friendly. They were all willing to take time out of my day to talk to me and help me with my work and answer my questions. We got along well.

    • My supervisor was really helpful in giving me an overview of the team and helping me with my tasks.

    • Good balance of being busy and having enough time to meet with others around the firm for coffee chats.

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

    • I felt like by the second week of my internship I was already given real responsibility and could see what I would be doing on a daily basis if I were working here full time.
