    The Role

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

    • There is a great work culture in place and everyone has been helpful and friendly. They try to give me as much variety in terms of the work I do as much as possible, so the work itself is interesting.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I have always been supported whenever I had any questions and people have never hesitated to help. I have always been asked what type of work that interested me more so they could allocate me with more work in that area.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • We were given an induction training at the beginning, alongside other trainings on the job. Questions are always encouraged and they always answer my queries.

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

    • They try their best to keep you busy, but there's only so much an intern can do so there are times on certain days where I didn't have much to do. It also depends on whether your internship coincides with the service line's busy period. If it does, then there would be more things to do.

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

    • A lot of the work might be too confidential for an intern to do, or lack the skills and qualification to do, so I helped with whatever work that I can.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Communication skills, problem solving skills and generally working in a corporate environment to prepare me for my future career.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • People who are committed to their jobs but they have quite a number of socials and the office has quite a friendly, sociable environment. I never felt afraid to approach anyone

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

    • Overall quite structured and given good opportunities to network with the partners. However prior to the internship it seemed a bit rushed in terms of submitting paperwork and being informed of the induction programme.

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

    5/5

    • Working from home
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Great place to work in with nice perks. People here are great with a good work culture. Support and training are given to graduates, so overall a really good company to work in.

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