    The Role

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

    • It was actually a lot more fun than I expected, and a really great working environment.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was pleasantly surprised by how willing people were to delegate 'real' work to me from the outset.

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

    • They were extremely friendly and helpful throughout, though occasionally a little slack in helping me find things to do when my workload got lighter.

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

    • The amount of work I had to do fluctuated, but that was reflective of the entire office and was actually quite nice as it meant I could alternate between being constructive and relaxing a bit on occasion.

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

    • I was working on real client projects - of course everything is reviewed but it still felt good and I was treated just like a graduate recruit (I know this because there was one who joined at the same time as me).

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

    • Especially the skills I learnt just using excel were useful.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The people were lovely, light-hearted emails occasionally got sent round, and there was nearly always food left on a filing cabinet for people to help themselves to!

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

    • I had a good start, but then was left to my own devices a bit in taking on new work projects. The intern-specific days were very well organised.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There is a huge wealth of online training classes I was free to enroll on, and I also attended several training sessions amongst the other analysts.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Hopefully will be getting a job offer at the end.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • The departments are quite spread out, and I was the only one in mine.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • It's London, so it's expensive, but they pay accommodation or travel costs on top of your salary.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Again - it's London! Also, I was very close to Soho/Covent Garden.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • We went to the pub a few times but that was about it.
