    The Role

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

    • It was good because I got a good overview of how the investment division works and how the different teams worked together on projects.

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

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

    • I was given adequate support during my internship and the mentors were always willing to help when I asked them.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was not too busy but the work load was enough to keep you active and engaged throughout the day.

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

    • During an internship you can't expect to be involved in all of the work the team does but I felt that I was able to help out in some small way when asked to be involved.

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

    • Perhaps the skills I developed will help me in my future jobs more than in my degree studies as the skills and intuitions I developed in Towers Watson can be utilised better in a work environment than in university.

    4/5

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

    • Given that it was a 6 week internship I didn't expect much but I realised quickly that if you had an appetite to learn more about the work then people were more than welcome to teach you.

    The Culture

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