    The Role

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

    • The programme as a whole is very well organized. One gets a good balance of working experience, networking and a clear picture of how the organization works.

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

    • From day one I was treated as a full time employee. I did not feel treated as someone inferior, proving ethics does play a great role in MUSI

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

    • Subject to my own inputs and feedback, team was always supportive of my own initiatives

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

    • As in other banking jobs, workload widely varies from one day to the other. Overall, I felt neither bored nor overstressed

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

    • Trying to be a bit more critical, I would have enjoyed having a bit more of responsibility. However, it is understandable that one is not going to take full charge of duties that are critical to the department taking into consideration that the internship runs for 10 weeks.

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

    • Very insightful 10 weeks

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Really interactive and informal overall. Everyone was approachable no matter what their position was

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

    • As a relatively new program, HR puts a lot of effort on improving it and gathering feedback from us. They try to tailor-made the program to prove useful both for the desks and the interns

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

    • Probably the strongest point. We had 1 week training, together with meetings with different senior managers from all around the business. Furthermore, the intern class being relatively small, the whole experience is quite personal.
