    The Company

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

    • Some days were really slow and the office was really quiet but this meant that it was up to me to organise my schedule and ensure that I was never too busy on other days.

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

    • There were some initial IT issues like logins and I was moved from desk to desk as they did not have a specific desk for me.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Although there were scheduled training sessions, there were also a lot of training courses which you could do on your own.

    4/5

    • Flexi Time

    Financial Bonus
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They operate on a meritocracy so as long as you perform well, there is no reason why a respected company like JP Morgan will deny you a place in the company.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Socials were organised frequently

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Although the office is in Canary Wharf and that is an expensive area, one always has the opportunity to live further away as long as it can easily connect to one of the many stops near Canary Wharf such as Heron Quays

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Considering that it is in London, the nightlife is pretty alive

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

    • There are a number of business resource groups such as LGBT, Women in Business, which allow employees to be active outside of their team
