    The Role

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

    • Everyone was really friendly and helpful, the work was interesting and events organised for the interns were very good.

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

    • Most people were very friendly, but you still had some who were harder to approach. But they tended to be more senior people

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

    • Support and guidance was amazing! My line manager was very helpful with all my tasks and so was my buddy. If you asked for help, you got help.

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

    • Some days it felt like you were too busy and some days you had little to do, but on these days no one expects more than you can manage. If you were busy people understood, and if you had little to do then you found work from other people.

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

    • A reasonable amount of responsibility. My work did get checked but that was the nature of the project too.

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

    • MS Excel skills have been taken away from the internship and used. Networking skills and general business etiquette skills have been very useful

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Quite lively, and a lot of people doing very different things which was entertaining.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • HR did an amazing job sorting everything out. They kept us well informed about anything we needed to know and about any events tha were coming up. You could ask them any question and they responded very quickly

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

    • There were mandatory finance and IT skills training that we needed to complete before the end of the internship but it was better to do it earlier so you could make use of the knowledge. There 3 days at the start of the internship as well that were training days.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They look to hire primarily from the internship program provided you are good. If you perform well, and show you're curious about finance you're likely to get an offer.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Fellow interns always wanted to go out and do things with you. You never got bored in the evenings.

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

    • It was central London, everything is a bit dearer than outside the City.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London nightlife is amazing. Every night there was something to do.

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

    • There were opportunites to doa community volunteer day, and there were plenty of things to do in London.
