    The Role

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

    • I did not enjoy my internship at RBS. While there were sporadically tasks that were somewhat interesting, it was mostly tedious and repetitive, and in no way challenging.

    1/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My colleagues were always polite to me, but they weren't particularly friendly or inclusive.

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My line manager was often absent, and gave me only very superficial guidance.

    2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Throughout my ten-week internship, there were only a few days were I was actually busy. Most mornings I got so bored that I ended up just reading newspapers for hours.

    1/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • There weren't a lot of tasks that were of wider significance to the business.

    1/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • This is not really applicable to my situation, as my studies do not relate to this internship.
