    The Role

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

    • Very enjoyable experience overall! The company made a great effort and the people at the induction event did an excellent job in helping us to fit in.

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

    • Very valued - everyone was lovely to me throughout my summer placement. people always took the time to chat and ask how things were, checking back that everything was ok. i liked this a lot.

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

    • Occasionally support was rare as people were very busy at times. Also, at some point as an intern you feel stupid to always ask questions that seem very basic,

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

    • It was a decent amount, sometimes a bit bored, then at some days too busy, but I guess that is part of the job

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

    • I would say I was given as much responsibility as possible really, since some things are at the intern-stage simply to complicated or would take too long to train an intern to be prepared for those exercises.

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

    • I definitely improved my team working skills and learnt how to deal with certain situations at a client. Excel and software training was also useful and will be helpful in the future.

    4/5

    The Company

    • Friendly and cooperative. People were trying to get to know me, many social activities oytside of work

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Very well organised. However, some of the training at the beginning when I was in the office bit intense. The time could have been a bit more relaxed to actually get to know the other interns.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • not so much, except for some presentation skills training. There could have been more on people skills, and excel

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

    • The firm itself is great. ACA qualification as well. However, I think the financial reward compared to competitors that attract similar people, such as Invertment Banking, is less

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • A lot of social events were organised, such as regular drinks, wine tasting, dinner, etc. Interns organised many social events as well which was good
