Internship Review at Deutsche Bank

The Role

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

★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rated 7/10

The internship as a whole fantastic, though I had a feeling that the position I was assigned did not necessarily reflect my skill set and interests. Nonetheless, colleagues were great, training was good, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and have fun.

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

★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Rated 6/10

Colleagues were nice, however, I felt the project I placed in required quite senior employees. This meant that they had a lot to do and an important personal life.

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

★★★★★★★★★☆

Rated 9/10

Consistent support and guidance by supervisor - always there to help me and give me the right contacts.

4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

★★★★★★★★★☆

Rated 9/10

Some moments of work-related inactivity. However, I just used these times to continue my online training or socialise through the instant messenger at our disposal!

★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 5/10

Given a lot of responsibility from day 1. Training was great.

The Organisation

7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 2/10

Not the most exciting place to work at. The 'extra' activities planned by HR were a great way of making things more varied.

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

★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

Amazing guidance from day 1 - HR kept in touch with us very often and the internship itself was organised with no evident hiccups at all.

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

★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

The firm really made believe they wanted me 100%. Mid-reviews and final reviews were a good way of getting feedback and being able to develop on skills.

10. What were the perks on your work placement?

★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 5/10

• Subsidised Canteen
• Company Parties/Events
• Staff Sales/Staff Shop

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

Rated 10/10

Employment prospects are fantastic if the fit is right between the company and the intern.

Other Information

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

★★★★★★★★★★

Rated 10/10

Everybody got along extremely well and became good friends through the experience. Interns helped each other out with anything, gave good advice to each other and there was a healthy air of competition.

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

★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 5/10

London is not the cheapest place to live in, but as student in London it did not come as a shock. In any case, the salary certainly did help a lot!

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

★★★★★★★★☆☆

Rated 8/10

Good nightlife; many bars, pubs and some clubs. Obviously expensive in the City, but other areas in London are accessible too so it wasn't too bad.

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

★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rated 7/10

Many opportunities available!
