    4/5

    • 4/5

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

    • I feel my understanding has developed of the product as I had ample time to read around. However, I feel I have not developed many skills which would have been useful

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Generally a good atmosphere, not too much facetime - although this varied between teams on the floor

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

    • HR did a good job in organising extra events, however some more internal networking opportunities may have proved useful

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

    • The firm certainly invested in us, particuarly with enabling us to complete a rotational internship as this limited our ability to take on large amounts of work. However I feel the training we recieved was not as good as other banks.

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

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

    • Employment prospects are very appealing, I believe working here as an analyst would be an excellent place to begin my career

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was a vibrant social scene among the interns, however social activities within my teams were rather limited - presumably as many people were on holiday

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Canary wharf is expensive, however I feel this is reflected in the compensation package

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Many people travelled into London to take advantage of the nightlife on offer particuarly in the west end

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
