    The Role

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

    • Good organisation of the placement and good people. Task set within teams varied a great deal but opportunities to meet staff and senior management were unlimited.

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

    • It was not easy to access the extent to which you could add value to the team but my teams made sure I was comfortable and integrated

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

    • Fantastic feedback from mentor, buddy and managers

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

    • It varied across the internship

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

    • A great deal of independence

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

    • Some points on the feedback will stay with me for a long time.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • This varied within teams. But both had a buzz about them for the tasks they were doing and just how much more they wanted to find out about things

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

    • HR were always available to help and sorted any issues out promptly. Within teams, organisation varied so that it took a while for some teams to give me a task. In retrospect, there was so much to learn before attempting the tasks

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

    • The presentations and their respective feedback was very good. I think the Feedback mechanism here is honest and detailed. In terms of other types of training, this was done through online courses and other intranet programs and if you get stuck then colleagues. Opportunities were also offered to other interns to go on training courses to develop particular skills e.g presentation.

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

    • Sports and Social Club

    Subsidised/Company Gym

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

    • The company looks strong with a clear strategy for the future ahead. But analyst pay has pretty much been frozen over the last three years.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Oh yes!

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

    • London is VERY expensive. The closer you live to the city or canary wharf the more expensive it is. With some interns paying up to £250 a week for a shoe box.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Brilliant. Shoreditch was such good fun

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

    • CSR days to help out a nearby school park and 5K event was very nice. Networking drinks and so on too
