    The Role

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

    • Overall I definitely enjoyed the internship, I liked that it is what you make of it, in that you can push for work/shadowing in different areas so you aren't limited to the team you're placed in. I also enjoyed how much I learned from the internship.

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

    • I got on really well with my team, I feel I could've been given more responsibility which may have made me feel more valued, but I feel like the work I did was valued by colleagues.

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

    • Weekly 1 to 1's to review my work, what the team want me to do and what I want to achieve. I also had a mid-internship review and other meetings with my line manager to review my progress.

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

    • I found that if you wanted to be busier it was up to you to reach out and ask for work from other teams, shadow different areas of the bank or make the most and expand on work that I was given. I had lots of side of desk challenges which I could focus on at the less busy points.

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

    • I would've liked to have been given a bit more responsibility during my placement, but realize 10 weeks is quite a short time to integrate enough to take on projects with more responsibility.

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

    • There is loads of training offered and a huge amount of e-learning that you can choose to do yourself. Lots of colleagues offered learning sessions on a wide range of skills.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone in the office is incredibly friendly and approachable.

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

    • Dealing with emerging talent at Lloyds was really well organised. he only issue was the vetting process which Lloyds outsourced and was incredibly disorganized.

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

    • I feel LBG has invested a huge amount in me with lots of training and development offered.

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

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

    • Depending on your internship performance, there is a really good grad scheme which you can be referred to.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I found that this is what you make of it, some people are really social and others not so much.

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

    • LBG provided accommodation. I was in London so cost of living is fairly expensive but there is a London allowance which helps with this.

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

    • London, so pretty good!

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

    • Lots of our challenges involved organizing external events which you could attend.
