    4/5

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

    • At the start of the internship, I was not busy - I had to set up my desk, computer, email, etc. During the middle of the internship, work definitely picked up but it wasnt hard to find a good balance.

    4/5

    • I was really lucky because I was able to effectively lead a project. Got a lot of responsibility and really felt like I added value to the bank.

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

    • Just completed the internship, but it was a great experience. I am certain that the technical and soft skills I developed will be used throughout my life!

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Professional is a good way to describe it, rather than fun.

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

    • Lots and lots of activities and learning sessions which gave a good break from work and an opportunity to network.

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

    • Quite a lot - learnt a lot of things and the bank really made you feel like you were a full time employee.

    4/5

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

    Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very high conversion rate from internship to graduate schemes, unlike most other banks.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Lots of networking events to meet other interns and there were lots of things to do after hours.

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

    • Expensive - it was in the City so I was expecting it. Rent is very expensive, but we got a housing allowance which helped that.

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

    • Pretty good. London's a big city and you can always find things to do.

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

    • People were generally very busy since the internship took up most of the day and week. But I would say that there are lots of things to do outside work.
