    • Very interesting learning experience, though hours were very very long

    4/5

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Very helpful buddy, always willing to answer questions.

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

    • Work definitely came in waves. Annoyingly often would spend the whole day doing nothing, then the evening would be hectic and would end up staying late

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • To start with none, but got better once on a deal

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Excel/powerpoint skills useful, and all valuation techniques etc will be very helpful in future job. Training wasnt too good: much better when learning by doing on the job

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • On the whole good, though there were times which weren't too good, often late at night

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Lots of seminars/training planned in advance which was good, though pre-internship project was a shambles, with HR forgetting to send out emails beforehand, then blaming our team for not responding

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Very good in this sense. Everybody was keen to teach and help you learn by answering questions

    • National Travel
    3/5

    • No idea at this stage, though would like to come back!

    3/5

    • Definitely. Everybody was very friendly

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

    • London will be London!

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Again, London has it all, though we didn't get any time to enjoy it!

    4/5

    • Hours were too long
