    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Really enjoyable. BAML did a great job of showcasing the different aspects of the business, putting on events and getting interns to interact. For anyone looking to take their first steps into banking, the BAML spring week is perfect for allowing students to evaluate their options and get a feel for the company.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • There were lots of talks from senior staff who were more than happy to take questions.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • The week was really well organised. All the Campus team were really helpful and approachable.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • BAML fitted a lot into the days, it was well balanced.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Group work and a presentation we worked towards gave us all the opportunity to take responsibility. Lots of events were talk/ seminar based, however, there were plenty of oppotunities to ask questions. Given the fact the spring week is only a week long, the amount of responsibility was about right.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Met some great people, excellent networking opportunities and was offered some really important advice on developing a career in banking.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Campus team structured the weak really well.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I felt that BAML really reached out to all the interns. The opportunity for further involvement with BAML was certainly there for those that really wanted it.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events

    3/5

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Yes, everyone interacted really well.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • London based, so what you would expect from London.

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • 3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Only a week long placement, so not really applicable.

    3/5
