    The Role

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

    • Work was interesting and challenging - identical to what a first year analyst would have been working on.

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

    • Colleagues were invariably very friendly and considered my opinion seriously when expressed.

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

    • There was a degree of independence, but I was always able to ask for help if necessary.

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

    • Busy with work, but not overwhelmingly so. However, there was a week-long lull between projects during which I was left without much to take on.

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

    • Responsibility progressed sensibly and quickly. By the end, I was given ownership of entire workstreams. I continued to have regular meetings with my manager, though, to get feedback and advice.

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

    • Both technical and soft skills were strongly improved. In particular, I developed hypothesis-driven research and analysis skills and drastically improved my PowerPoint and Excel skills.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • It's an office so was obviously quite quiet and conducive to work.

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

    • Everything ran very smoothly, with good initial training, interesting projects assigned and a number of contact points for any matters that arose.

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

    • Excellent training available. The firm is surprisingly committed to your personal development and training; there is definitely a strong sense that they are investing in you.

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

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The firm offered to a number of interns, including me.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • The firm organised some good dinners/nights out; never lacking social events. We didn't organise much among ourselves but can't fault the firm.

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

    • ... it's Central London.

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

    • Again, it's Central London so there's always going to be somewhere a few Tube stops away. There was a club opposite the office actually, which we went to after our closing dinner.

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

    • There were some good social events organised, but not a huge amount else besides.
