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

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

    • Some days are always going to be busier than others, but this comes down to you. If you have little to do it is important to ask for more work.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I participated in and led calls with large corporations, and the work I produced was used in client meetings.

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

    • It brings the theoretical work of your studies into the real world, and adds further drive to do well in whatever studies that remain.

    The Company

    • Hugely positive and supportive (despite being virtual!)

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

    • Incredibly well organised. The virtual setup was new for everyone, but the work that had gone into the internship before it had started was obvious.

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

    • We had many training sessions on asset management, presenting skills, and mentality. There was also talks from a range of people within the company. They properly invested in us.

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They seem to be good. Schroders employs from within and invests a lot into you from the start.

    4/5

    • Despite the virtual nature - weekly intern zoom calls allowed for a social element.
