    The Role

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

    • It was truly a great experience! The attitude towards interns within the company is incredible. I was able to ask any person for help and learn from them. I was able to apply my skills and most importantly get recognised for it.

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

    • Colleagues were extremely friendly and helpful. I could easily get along with anyone from the company. There is incredible teamwork within the company because of the respect people have for each other. I felt more as an analyst rather than intern.

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

    • The structure within the company is very meritocratic. I was sitting a desk away from my Team Leader and my mentor was just behind me. Any time I had a question they were both eager to help me learn and develop my skills.

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

    • There was a great balance of learning or informational sessions and the projects we received, I got involved in many interesting projects and learned a lot from them. The workload more or less depended on us interns. My mentor often said "Ask and you shall receive!"

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

    • The internship was very well organised with many activities throughout. It was an ideal mix between on-the-desk work and events to introduce us to the firm, industry etc. We also had organised social events after work where we could network with colleagues as well as between departments.
