The Role
I really enjoyed my placement. The people I worked with were fabulous and the amount I learnt was vast which made everyday so interesting.
I got on with my team and the other employees extremely well. They were all so welcoming and we still keep in touch now am back at University which is great
During my year I had a manager and a mentor. They were both excellent at helping me whenever I needed it and guiding me in the right direction. They also encouraged me to network, which meant I got to know a lot more about Morgan Stanley and was exposed to different departments.
I did have busy days but there was always help if I needed it. I was never bored as there was always something to do and something new to learn.
I was given a lot of responsibility which was brilliant as it made me feel like I was really adding value to the workplace. This definitely made me enjoy my job even more.
I had to give presentations throughout my year and this really built up my confidence. This is something that has helped me so far in my final year at University. Also, my time management was so important in my role that this is something I have also got good at.
The Company
Very good atmosphere. Everyone worked very hard and clients were everyones main focus, but we all had a laugh at the same time. The relationships were strong with everyone and so the atmosphere in the office was always very pleasant.
Very well organised. I had a mentor and a manager that I had regular catch ups with, there were at least monthly. I presented on 4 different topics and got feedback for each of these. I also has different mentors for each presentation, which was really good for getting to know more people. I then had a review at christmas and at the end of the placement.
I had a lot of training a the beginning of my year to get me started. Then throughout the year if there was topic I wanted more clarity on there was always someone who would talk me through it again. I had access to endless amount of training.

I have been offered a Graduate job and I cannot wait to go back.
The Culture
Yes, all the placement students got on very well and we did go out occasionally.
London is quite expensive, but worth it!
Something for everyone in London. It is the best place to be!
Lots of charity work that you could get involved in, as well as department activities such as bowling and football. There were also events for the placement students.
