    The Role

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

    • Great, friendly team. Thorough experience, was treated as though it was on a full-time basis.

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

    • Juniors were extremely friendly and inclusive, asking for thoughts and collaborative working. Less contact with the Seniors though this is perhaps more understandable and on the occasion of rare contact, they were friendly.

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

    • This was perhaps the most frustrating part, apart from the mid-term review, the feedback was not that frequent - even if constructive

    2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Generally extremely busy, with little down time, especially as time progressed - not that this is a bad thing though, time flew by.

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

    • There was a fair amount of independence and you were given as much responsibility as you can handle. Obviously you cannot run the show as an intern but exposure to live transactions and genera business was on point.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Generally very useful, not really for my degree, but certainly for life.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The people in the team are very fun and normal people, though due to the amount of business going on, there wasn't a lot of time for going out.

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

    • Very well set up.

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

    • Had a week of training which was useful but throughout people were generally patient and took the time to teach you.

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

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

    • Great opportunity to build a career at the firm.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • The people are generally very good, but people do work hard.

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

    • It's expensive, but it's London...

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Again, it's London, so it's good..

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

    • There are many clubs and societies, in addition to a gym, though again time pressure.

    2/5
