    The Role

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

    • A great place to work with a lovely campus like feel. The work is challenging but rewarding and co-workers are helpful. Definitely a lot more techy than I expected a Bank to be.

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

    • Everyone was very friendly and always valued my ideas, even if they weren’t the best.

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

    • Bi-weekly meetings with my manager meant I always knew what I was doing well in and what I needed to improve.

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

    • My software development improved drastically, which will definitely help me during my degree.

    The Culture

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