    The Role

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

    • I thoroughly enjoyed my time at JPMorgan, the access we were given to the working life of an analyst was very impressive. The long hours were quite trying but that is to be expected.

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

    • My team instantly made me feel valued and a part of the team from simple things like being cc'd on emails and invited to meetings, to regular lunches and help.

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

    • There was a constant review system supported by good availability of managers and training.

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

    • The business of your day is sort of upto you as you can take on more work where you feel you can handle it. Overall I was never given too much work, but the late hours were difficult.

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

    • I was given a reasonable amount of responsibility to be accountable for the speed and quality of my work.

    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 have developed a unique understanding of working in a team, the financial markets and the basic tools of research, something a university degree would be incapable of supplying. I have also learnt a great deal about basic tools for successful career progression, how to develop oneself and career motivation.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere was intimidating initially but overall I feel it is a friendly and welcoming environment.

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

    • HR run an incredible operation looking after the interns. However my first day on my desk was a bit uncoordinated. Overall very well run.

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

    • We had over a week of training before we even began the internship. This was top grade instruction and immensely valuable. Frequent training on projects throughout also helped my development. The staff are always available for questions.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events

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

    • The internship offers a high progression per centage onto employment and is also structured in a way so that it is not cut throat competition with the other peers. All you can do is focus on making yourself as good as possible.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Good facilitation for us to meet other interns at the beginning and through personal decisions we kept this good social scene going throughout.

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

    • Very expensive, we are in central London! Also we are at the office late so not a huge amount of socialising.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London has some of the best nightlife in the world.

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

    • Yes but we had no time for that.
