    The Role

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

    • The programme was engaging and stimulating, which, on long days under the piercing shine of artificial light, was propitious.

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

    • I was able to perform plenty of desk-specific tasks, allowing my colleagues the pleasure of an extra few minutes to conduct their tasks. They told me they appreciated this.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My line manager, driven both a desire to help me and the bank, was a more than apt mentor.

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

    • More due to character flaw than anything else, I did not personally chase work, but I was, for personal development or business needs, for better or for worse, busy.

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

    • I was granted the opportunity to do what I could.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I learned a lot of acronyms, and I found a love for bank capital structures.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Competitive and energetic, the office fostered a sense of purpose, which was fulfilling.

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

    • Many interns commented that they had never witnessed a better organised internship, including those who had already completed one.

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

    • I cannot knock the investment made in my personal development. I can only knock my inability to appreciate it.

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

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • If I were able to add 6 hours to the day to sleep, then I would love to work for the firm.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • The interns were very sociable; a few even claimed to want to socialise because they actually liked each other.

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

    • I mean, London is London, and working as an intern does not exactly foster a miserly attitude.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Canary Wharf caters for only a small proportion of my interests; not withstanding, London as a whole satisfies them all. For in London, there exist all the wonders that the world can afford.

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

    • Indeed, I was unaccustomed to occupying myself with work-related matters outside of the proverbial office, but there were plenty of opportunities to do so, and I took them.

    3/5
