Management Consultant Review

Really good placements over all, if you are looking for a role were you have real responsibilities then this certainly offers you that. Be prepared to work hard but the level of exposure you will get I return is very good and you will be pushed and test to progress throughout.

Felt on par with my co-workers and was not considered and ‘’Intern’’ but more like a full time member of staff. Certainly the work load was the same. The office is a really nice place to be with lots of friendly people and it’s easy to ask for help.

Had weekly reviews with my manager in order for me to ensure that I was on track and also for me to find out if I was performing and how I could improve. If I ever had any issue I felt more the comfortable to go to my boss or co-workers about it.

Very busy every day, if you want and easy ride then not for you. If you want a really understanding of the corporate world and the long hours you are expected to work in order to get the job done this will give you that, rarely a day when you have much time to relax.

I had a very large deal of responsibility and was in charge of my own portfolio. This meant I had large sums that I had to manage on a daily basis. Despite this large amount of responsibility put on me I didn’t feel out of my depth at any time. If I needed support it was there but I really enjoyed being able to make decisions by myself.

Definitely helped see the real life side to the theory I had learnt. The skills I had before my placement were improved and I learnt how to apply them in a corporate context. Over all it has helped me see what will be expected if you want to go far in the business world. If you want a real job as a placement then this is more than I ever thought I would have from my placement in relation to my duties and responsibilities.

Atmosphere could be tense if it was a busy time but usually relaxed and friendly. All colleagues are always willing to offer help and have a chat.

Partly well organised. GE recieve feedback from previous years to see where they could improve. There were a few challenges e.g. lack of training and took a while to get computers but overall ok.

Investment was satisfactory. Again there are lots of GE online training courses which were useful but getting funding for other courses could be difficult. They invest in you for a solid future but could offer more training outside of the on-job necessities.

Extremely rewarding. The scope for personal development within the company is huge, and as a graduate must be one of the best ways to kick start a graduate career.

There were multiple other interns at my site along with apprentices and interns from Oil and Gas in the same building. We spent a lot of time together talking, helping and shadowing each other to gain exposure of multiple businesses.

This was fairly high as Bristol is a very desirable place to live and therefore the prices are very similar to those in London.

Really good as there are two big unis in the city and therefore there are plenty of options.

GE runs a huge amount of volunteering schemes from helping in local schools to competing in charity sports events. There was also a fairly active sports club.
