    The Role

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

    • I have really enjoyed it and learn't a lot about the industry and what I may want to do and definitely wouldn't want to do. I have also met some really helpful people who have given me a lot of insight into the working world.

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

    • as the time went on I had a little less interaction from them, but think maybe I needed to do more to keep up with them.

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

    • Lots of support from my manager who was really helpful. Other colleagues in the bank also very friendly and always will to give advice and experience about them and the area they worked in.

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

    • Not hugely busy towards the end of the placement as colleague left me to my own devices. However outside the office I was working in there were lots of presentations for interns giving a good insight into other areas of the bank which I really enjoyed attending.

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

    • I wasn't given a huge amount of responsibility in that the work I was given wasn't too important and people weren't depending on me to get it done. I think the more you did yourself the more responsibility you took on.

    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 learn't a lot about the work place and the industry I am working in. Also the processes within the organisation and how the teams all work together within such a large company to achieve shared objectives.

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