    The Role

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

    • I truly enjoyed the experience as it provided me with great exposure to M&A activity. I was a part of the Healthcare M&A team with the other three interns. We did a lot of power point slides as well as updating the team's database on past transactions in the healthcare industry. On top of our work with the team, we had an individual project where we had to present a company profile from the healthcare industry.

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

    • I was given valuable feedback on my work and most of my work was incorporated into the documents that were sent to the clients. We were also given a feedback for the individual project for us to be able to do it better in the future. The feedback culture made me really valued as an individual in the team and had made the learning experience really enriching. At the end of the internship, I was able to see the end result of my work being utilised by the team.

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

    • The people in the team were always available for us to ask questions and they were very open to having a conversation with the interns.

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

    • Starting at 9 am and finishing by 12 am or 1 am, we had weekly team meetings where we were updated on the live transactions that were happening across the team as well as the team's wellbeing. We then continued to do our work and sometimes we had calls throughout the day to catch up on the work we were doing. We were able to take breaks for lunch and dinner throughout the day, only one week I had to work on a weekend
