    The Role

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

    • It was a great experience and I enjoyed it very much. I learned a lot and it was definitely worthwhile.

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

    • I definitely felt I was valued by my colleagues. They didn't treat me differently from each other which was good. I worked better in the team because I felt I was valued.

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

    • They gave me all the support I needed. Whenever I had questions or any problems I would just ask my manager or anyone in my team and they were always happy to help me.

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

    • It was the perfect balance of work for me. It was quite challenging but I thought I had the right amount of work to keep me busy each day which was nice.

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

    • My team gave me more responsibility as the internship went on. By the end I was making decisions and doing work that the full time employees were doing which was both nerve-wracking and exciting.

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

    • The skills I have gained on this internship - both technical and soft skills - are definitely skills that I will keep for life. It will help me for the remainder of my university education and also in my professional career.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Great atmosphere in the office. Really good working environment and I looked forward to coming in each day.

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

    • Really well organised. They told us what was happening and when the events were which was good. The mid-internship review we had was given plenty of advance warning.

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

    • Continuous training is recommended and they tell you to do the training that you need to do. Also some mandatory training that you have to do. It's really up to you to develop yourself but J.P. Morgan will help you get there. That's what I felt anyway.

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

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

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

    • Got a graduate job! So excited to be coming back!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Great social scene. Went out after work often to get to know each other. Got to know some great people.

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

    • Pretty expensive if you don't plan for it but generally manageable.

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

    • Amazing nightlife. Had so much fun in London!

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

    • The internship team organised regular events for the interns and graduates so we got out often. It was good to socialise and get to know other people from the company.
