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

    • Depending on the project that I was assigned on, the managers differed on a weekly basis, however there was always support available from a personal "buddy" at the firm.

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

    • Kept fairly busy throughout the internship, although the workload never seemed to be unbearable - the hours reflected that as well.

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

    • No real responsibility, except for taking ownership of the work that you had to complete - which I felt was responsibility in itself.

    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 have picked up a lot of interpersonal skills just from being in a professional corporate environment as well as got a real flavour of the firm's culture.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, it was a great bunch of like-minded people - very much a work hard play hard mentality amongst the interns

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

    • The office was just off Fleet Street so it was quite expensive, yet there were a few decent pubs in the area.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • As mentioned above, several pubs/bars in and around the office that made for a great place to go after work.

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

    • I understand that there are plenty of opportunities to help with charitable/community related work once you join the firm
