    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed working at Merrill Lynch. I had the chance to cover in 9 weeks lots of different sectors and gain knowledge.

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

    • The colleagues were nice, opened to questions anytime I needed.

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

    • All the time. The team is very accessible, particularly the manager.

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

    • I always had something to do, so wasn't bored at all.

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

    • I think that it was fair when taking into account that I was an intern. I took part in writing initiations and analysed financial statement. It was perfect for me in order to get the whole picture.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • My answer is 1 just because there is NO correlation between what you study and what you do. also, I have done the internship after my master's. I studied economics and I think that the experience at Merrill Lynch just made my knowledge broader, unrelated to academy of course.

    1/5

    The Company

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

    • Overall, it was good. Still. it can get better- more going out with the team after work for example can make the environment more sociable.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • PERFECT. everything was precise. During the internship, we had learning sessions and cool activities with the other interns.

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

    • I think that it can be better. maybe some brief days on essential financials you have to know...

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events

    Healthcare/Dental
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Extremely appealing!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • All the time- BBQ, rafting, boat. the social platform for the interns was great.

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

    • I lived in the halls of my university so I can't tell. (Angel area)

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I think that around the place there are a few nice bars.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • We had a few options to volunteer as Merrill Lynch is very cared about social activities.

    3/5
