    The Role

    • Excellent team, enjoyed all aspects of the internship. I hopefully will have the opportunity to come back!

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

    • Very much so, I was given a variety of tasks where I was able to contribute to client work. My manager said I was an asset to the team.

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

    • Always at hand to help out or further explain things if there were any issues.

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

    • Generally I was very busy, working through lunch was common (although I was unfazed by this).

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

    • I feel like I was given a lot of responsibility! It probably helped that I came from a university background which meant I had a good understanding of the pensions market and therefore was able to excel.

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

    • It has been invaluable work experience, and has confirmed by ambitions to work in Investments!

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

    • Not sure if I have a job yet (it's the last day). However, I believe the company will be reducing the number of graduates in future years and instead outsourcing more work offshore.
