    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Brilliant internship, only thing to complain about is salary, but location (near London) and job more than make up for it.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • The working culture in GE is very friendly, and the interns are respected as equal members of the team, doing "proper" work with real responsibility.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I have a close working relationship with team and line manager, and have always received the support i need to do my job.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I have been super busy some days, and have barely anything other days - it pays to work under your own initiative during these down times.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • While I could make few directional decisions, I was given the free reign to monitor other teams and comment on their failings, as well as suggest where I could see improvement. this is part of internal auditing, and was a lot of responsibility as my observations would effect the business's focus.

    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 have learned more here than I ever did at uni, and I got a 1st in my second year. This internship is the best decision of my young career.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Colleagues very much up for a laugh always.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Intern program is as highly valued in the Finance department as the graduate program (which is world class).

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Was allowed to work on important business projects, and was sent on 3 training courses over the year.

    5/5

  • Flexi Time

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Would love a job afterwards, but very competitive - would be applying to the grad scheme.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Lived with 3 other interns which i can definitely recommend!! just like uni!

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Living in Harrow and going out in London is expensive for what the salary is, but you can do all that as long as you don't mind not saving anything.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • London is much better, but Watford is ok to out in if you live there. Harrow has no social scene.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Plenty - its London.

    5/5
