    The Role

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

    • I felt welcomed at the start of the internship and I feel appreciated now. I have also enjoyed all of the work I've done while I've been here.

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

    • My team has welcomed me and made an extra effort to make me feel included. My manager is amazing and my teammates have been supportive.

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

    • My manager and members of my team have always been ready to give me a helping hand and have gone out of their way to make sure I am comfortable doing what I do each and every day.

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

    • I have been quite busy, slightly more busy than I would feel comfortable being, but that's what working life is, and I don't feel pressured to work beyond my abilities.

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

    • I was given the perfect amount of responsibility. I am held accountable for my achievements and goals, as well as my objectives and whether or not I meet them. I was given guidelines as to what to work on and I had some freedoms as well.

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

    • Everything I've done while working here will benefit me in the long run--online training, not so much, but everything ELSE will help me while studying, working and plain old living. thanks to the time management skills I've learned and tweaked to perfection (IMHO)

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Most people are happy and openly show it--there will always be different types of personalities present in the workplace, and JP Morgan only benefits from it.

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

    • The placement has been quite well organised. I have never felt like I've been abandoned or not well taken care of while I've been here.

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

    • I have been provided with opportunities to do training, but not as many as I would have liked.

    4/5

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

    National Travel

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

    • I would love to continue working here, but I haven't secured my graduate placement yet!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • I had friends which I already knew and I have made a few great friends while I've been working here.

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

    • I already lived in Glasgow, so I can't comment on accommodation, but food and drinks is very reasonable, you just have to pick the right place. There is TONS to choose from!

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

    • Glasgow nightlife, nothing beats it.

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

    • Not many work-related activities. One volunteering day, two induction days in London and a cocktail party at the end.
