    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my internship and it was far better than anything I expected. I feel that the team I was put in was very well suited to my interests and meant that I have had a great experience.

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

    • Although the rating "like family" may seem extreme, I really felt included and was made part of the team. I felt appreciated by them even when completing relatively unimportant tasks.

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

    • My manager and team has been fantastic through my experience and is one of the reasons I enjoyed the internship so much. I was introduced to lots of people across the company to allow me to learn about different divisions . I was given continuous training and felt that everyone was patient with me and always willing to explain things if I didn't understand something.

    • It's in the City so lots of options for bars etc., however it is obviously quite expensive at times as expected/

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

    • I'm not sure what the nightlife is like in Bank, however it's London and there are lots of great things to do.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I think for those that are interested there as socials and events that you can attend.
