    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Team very nice, work was meaningful and exposed to many industries as well. Had a really good time while learning a lot from people of all levels, juniors to partners and it was an amazing experience. Really enjoyed myself and made new friends in the office too. Interns were great.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Everyone was really lovely and explained everything in detail. There was no problem with asking questions and i could always rely on my buddy for help with admin issues. We also had socials in the team and went to a partner's house which helped me bond well with the team.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My counsellor checked in with me every week to make sure i was doing well and had good opportunities to work on different projects. The work i did contributed to the final slides presented to the clients so it really felt very meaningful and i did contribute to the team.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • It was busier on some days than the rest but the work was always interesting. I was attached to various projects and so could have an overall view of the team's work and that was great. On days with less work, i would schedule chats with some of the team.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was allowed to do technical work with much guidance and really learnt a lot. All the work i submitted was overviewed and feedback was given so i had a good sense of how much i did was right and could improve on it. It was a good experience there.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • London is generally expensive so there is nothing to be done about the cost of things but i think there is a lot more choicss of what u can do when u have time so it is always a tradeoff btwn variety and choice esp when it is for fun

    2/5

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