    The Role

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

    • Personally, the internship was what I was looking for. It played on my strengths but was also able to bring to light my developmental areas. I feel that this is important when starting out your career, i.e. to know what you should be working on. In addition to this, the resources provided and people I met were very supportive. So altogether the experience was really good.

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

    • I did feel valued by my colleagues right from the early morning greetings to being helped with my work when I was struggling. I also went to them for career advice, training or just lunches and coffees to get to know each other. I appreciated that they always made time for me.

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

    • My manager was very supportive. He had the perfect balance of not holding my hand along too much but also not leaving me completely to me own devices.

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

    • Most of the time I was quite busy becuase there was a lot to cover but I enjoyed this so it's really about what you're looking for.

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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility. I managed one of my own projects, I couldn't believe they let me have so much responsibility at intern level.

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

    • This was one of the highlights of my internship. I took up a lot of training and was even encouraged by my manager to do full day trainings on various things from negotiation skills to GEM to excel.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • A good balance of chatter, banter and work.

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

    • There was a clear structure but there were times when things went out of structure too and that was a good thing because that's how work is done in real life so it gave me exposure to that.

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

    • As I said earlier I was encouraged to do full day trainings and did do these. We had talks from senior speakers.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

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

    • I can see myself with JPM. There are a lot of opportunities so you will almost always find something to complement your skill set.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • After work drinks, treats in the office, lunches.

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

    • Standard for London

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It's Canary Wharf, there's no nightlife in the immediate area I worked but it's London so it's really just a couple of tube stops away.

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

    • Not with colleagues but yes you could fit something around your schedule if you were keen to do so.
