    4/5

    4/5

    4/5

    4/5

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

    • Fanatastic financial training programme at the beginning, and throughout have been taught and shown things which will help me in my studies and in any other job I do.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Sometimes quiet, but fun sometimes as well. Good balance.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Initially felt that the first week (for all the interns together in all divisions) was too Sales and Trading orientated - but thereafter was very well organised as it was more specific to my role.

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

    • People gave a lot of time and effort into making sure we were getting the most out of our experience, particularly those in HR. Also, very well compensated.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Can't comment now as don't know yet, but would love to come back.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Not as much as I'd like, although I think they made an extra effort to push more social events than usual while we were here.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Expensive area.

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

    • Good, but not the best area for going out. Very corporate.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • None that I know of, but I'm sure there are - I just didn't try very hard in finding out!
