    The Role

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

    • The project I worked on throughout my summer was of great interest to me, the people were always extremely encouraging and helpful, plus we received numerous benefits and events from the HR/campus team.

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

    • One of the biggest plus points about this internship for me was that I wasn't referred to as an intern - I was given large amounts of responsibility and felt like a part of the team.

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

    • I had at least one meeting with my manager each week where he would always give me fantastic guidance & support on my project. He even went the extra mile and contributed to a key part of my project whilst on holiday.

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

    • The work load varied throughout the internship, however this was to be expected given our projects were what we were to focus our efforts on throughout the internship.

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

    • Each intern was given their own project to work on over the 10 weeks. The company stressed the importance of our individual contributions, with each persons project adding value to Amex.

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

    • The skills I've developed will help me massively in my final year of university & future career. The biggest learnings for me personally have been taking insights from data & presentation skills (creation & presentation)

    5/5

    • A relaxed, positive atmosphere throughout the marketing team.

    4/5

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

    • Training, a mid-internship review, presentations & an end of internship review strongly aided in personal development.

    • The summer internship is a filter for the graduate program, giving a good chance to return post-university.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Due to the large number of intern events all of the students regularly socialised, inside & outside of company events.

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

    • The placement was in London so very expensive if you're not used to London prices.

    3/5
