    The Role

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

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I had 2 rotations on my internship, I felt a lot more valued on one of them than the other.

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

    • Management were unbelievable at making the time for me, they were constantly approachable and happy to help.

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

    • As it was largely left up to me to manage my time, I felt relatively unpushed. Aside from when deadlines were looming.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I had to prepare some presentations/reports that were due to be presented the next day in some cases, therefore it was on me to make sure they were of the best quality they could be.

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

    • Gave me a good grounding of techical knowledge, but you learn most of it on the job and no one makes you feel bad for not knowing something.

    5/5

    The Company

    • There are always people who are around to talk to about anything, whether it be work or personal life. The people made the internship brilliant for me.

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

    • The organisation and the investment in us was unparalleled. There were meetings set up every week (sometimes more than 1) with senior management and high performing Investment Advisors who gave us an insight as to how they got into the business and what makes them tick.

    5/5
