    The Role

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

    • I have enjoyed most of my assigments. I do not appreciate all the emphasize put on networking and 'putting your face out there'.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • First rotation was the best and was told that I added great value. Secon rotation was so-so, but I know I added value. Final - n/a.

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

    • I could have used more guidance - most was based on putting yourself out there and being seen.

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

    • It has been varying a lot. Depends on the desk and presentations.

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

    • As already mentioned it depends on the different desks.

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

    • Amazing insight into a different world. Great knowledge acquired.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Again - different from desk to desk.

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

    • Close to perfect. My last rotation was not my priority.

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

    • I haven't made up my mind yet.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Bright young people. Being a foreigner I have felt a bit left behind - but that is more a matter of taking the initiative myself.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Apartments in central london are ridicolous expensive.

    5/5

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