    The Role

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

    • It was very challenging for sure, but provided the right amount of satisfaction to make it worth it

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

    • The employees took me in as one of their own. I never felt like I was being treated like a nobody.

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

    • The internship program had a phenomenal support scheme with Mentors, Buddies and very supportive HR reps.

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

    • This is an odd one to really measure as we were all incredibly busy - but it was exactly what all of us were there for. For that reason, I would say it was a perfect balance.

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

    • I was surprised by the amount of responsibility I was given - it took me a while to get used to it.

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

    • I can safely say that I learnt more in those 10 weeks than I have during the past 2 years of University

    5/5

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes - the social scene was a bit mild as it was an internship and we all had a goal to achieve. But everyone was very friendly and we went for the occasional pint at the pub.

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

    • London is London. Not much else to be said.

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

    • Canary Wharf is a bit secluded from London in terms of nightlife - but only 15 minutes on the tube and you're already in the center of things.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Plenty of opportunities. I took part in the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge (5.8km run) and we had dragon boat racing etc..
