    The Role

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

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

    • My team was extremely helpful. They created a very comfortable evironment so that I could ask all the questions that I had. That way I learned more.

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

    • My supervisor and I had daily catch ups so that we could monitor my progress and get some help when needed.

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

    • I believe that I had the perfect balance. I had deadlines set for me throughout the internship so there was always something to acheive.

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

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

    • There is nothing like on-the-job training. I believe that I learnt in 2 weeks what I probably would not have learnt in a college semester.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • I was sat with about three different teams and yet it felt very often like one big team. Everyone felt very supportive and genuinely interested in my work.

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

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

    • The company invested A LOT. I am returning to college a transformed individual, with more accrued knowledge. The training sessions were endless and that is a plus!

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

    • Although I do not know where I stand yet, I am quite optimistic from my reviews that I am pretty much on the right track. Fingers crosssed!

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I believe that employees of the bank believed in diversity but some other interns did not. A bit more education could be done on the subject for incoming interns annually so no one feels left out.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

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

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

    • Yes, there were. Most of the employees in the bank are always more than happy to tell you about stuff they are involved in and if it is convenient, they will encourage you to get on board. I got involved with Stemettes; I spent my weekends volunteering to teach teenagers how to code.
