    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really enjoyed being part of MUFG. Everyone has always been very nice, welcoming and helpful. Although I was an intern I could get exposure to many people in my 2 teams, at all different levels of the organization. Also MDs and directors want to have you involved in every important activity of the team and this is great!

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I felt extremely valued, I am saying this honestly. Everyone has always been interested in getting to know me and my story. It did not matter whether I was an intern or not, colleagues always tried to involve me in any kind of activity, calls with clients, business screenings and so on

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I had a line manager and a buddy for both divisions and literally everyday I was asked if everything was okay and if I felt overwhelmed or not. Anytime I had a question I knew I could ask them and they would have helped me. This makes MUFG different from other banks

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was fairly busy. Meaning that it was good to work on deals and to try the fast paced environment and at the same time I knew that they did not want me to feel overwhelmed and stressed. I like being busy and for this reason I was always asked for work to do

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • A lot of responsibility, I worked on a real deal that eventually got credit approval and a brought a high fee to the bank. The MD and Director recognized my job and I felt extremely valued. I also had the chance to work on pitches that were used with clients

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I think they can bring value added to my studies because many things can be learnt only on the job and only on real cases. I also think that this internship will differentiate me from many students during my last year of university and if I will have to work on uni projects it will be extremely helpful

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Amazing atmosphere, no tensions among colleagues and everyone very competent and at the same time very enjoyable to work with. I think this is extremely important because you spend lot of working hours in the office but at least time goes very fast with this kind of people and colleagues

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • extremely well organized from the beginning. we had lot of activities organized by HR and also by the people at MUFG. this made the internship great because I could meet lot of people from different divisions and businesses and for sure I know I will meet them once again somewhere

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I think that not only they invested in the first week of training but they invested in general by providing us everyday support. People time is extremely valuable and I felt I could always ask questions and this means that the company is investing in you by giving its time

    5/5

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