    5/5

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

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Have undertaken lots of training on Training Central, the firm's online training centre. For example, courses about the firm itself, on financial regulation including anti money-laundering, and on soft skills. They have been interesting & a good way to give myself a bit of variety.

    4/5

    • Nice, relaxed atmosphere.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Mainly very well-organised. There were a few small problems, such as our passes not being ready for us on our first morning & so having to stand in a long queue while they wrote paper passes for us.

    • I've decided I'm not interested in a career in Operations (the division I'm undertaking my internship in). However, will look at opportunities elsewhere in the firm.

    The Culture

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

    • Yes! Those of us living in Lyme Regis House (Bournemouth University accomodation near the station) have had an amazing time!
