    The Role

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

    • The project I was given to do was quite challenging and required a lot of attention and effort, which I truly appreciate as this allowed me to learn a lot in regards to both my technical ability and work ethic.

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

    • My colleagues were very welcoming when I started my internship and friendly throughout my internship. However, most of them time, I didn't really interact with them, partly due to the fact my project made me segregated from the rest of the team, so it is hard to judge how valued I was by certain team members.

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

    • I was given a lot of support and guidance by my manager. He was also a very good mentor. He often challenged the way I worked and the questions I asked, making me think and learn how to perform in a more efficient and effective way.

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

    • I am generally quite busy on a daily basis and have stayed a late on quite a few nights. There are many opportunities to network which I did not take on due to the fact that I had work to do, though I personally preferred the work to networking.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I feel like I was given quite a bit of responsibility. My project was mostly my work, with my manager guiding me. During the start of my internship, I felt I was given too much responsibility but this helped me learn the ropes quite quickly.

    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 developed my technical skills in regards to coding in Python and being able to study large code bases. I also developed my ability to debug and ask the right questions to get the answers I need to solve problems.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The general atmosphere was very friendly and fun. There were some times where it was very quiet but overall the office was a great place to be.

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

    • The organisation of my internship was set up very well. I thought the networking events were very well spread out throughout my time at the company.

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

    • The firm invests a lot in training as there are many courses for employees to take. There are many courses I took, which taught me many things about the finance industry.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Sports and Social Club
    1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They are very appealing. J.P. Morgan is a very large company and this means it can provide me with many opportunities to develop myself professionally.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There is a good social scene between the interns. We often spend time together during lunch and after work. The social scene within my team is almost non-existent.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Cost is very high.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Nightlife is very good.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Not really, I tried to join the J.P. Morgan tennis club but I never got a reply to my email.
