    The Role

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

    • After other internships in the same area in other companies, this summer internship enabled me to take part in very interesting transactions. I have been able to assist to a lot of meetings with third parties.

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

    • People regularly thanked me for my work and even put it forward in meetings with third parties. I did not expect so many positive comments is that type of work.

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

    • The internship mid term review is very useful.

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

    • The long hours are part of the job. Compared to other sections of the bank, I would say it was not bad, but nobody is happy to come to work several week ends in a row.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I worked directly with an executive director and even went to a meeting with a partner on my own.
