    The Role

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

    • It was enjoyable because everyone was really friendly and approachable in the office, there is definitely a good company culture.

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

    • I felt that my contributions were valued

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

    • Support and guidance were not very strong but it was also not a bad thing as there was a lot of learning through trying.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • It was extremely different everyday which is kind of the nature of consulting so can't really fault the company

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given quite a lot of autonomy on a lot of a projects which was a really good experience.

    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 experience is definitely very valuable, because whilst some of the work may not have been the most challenging the overall internship provided valuable insight and exposure in consulting which you just can't get unless you work in a consulting firm.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • People were extremely kind and friendly, but there were differences in the cultures in different offices. My office was one of the more formal and less social ones but people were still great.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Again, there are differences in each department so this is probably not a reflection for all. The internship was not very organised but that was probably the intent as it forces you to be more proactive I am guessing.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There was some training and they were great with helping to set up meetings just to talk and learn from people in the company.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • It would be a good place to work.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • The offices are really divided and there weren't many interns in my office so it made for a difficult situation for socialising.

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London

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

    • No.
