    The Role

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

    • I have had a positive experience and I enjoyed the job.

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

    • Within my own team I felt valued but outside of this I wasn't presented with any opportunities to meet other people inside the department.

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Support and guidance was certainly not forthcoming but when I pushed for it, it was provided thoroughly.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was certainly never too busy. Almost half the time I felt I was not busy enough, but this wasn't anyone's fault, just a function of market conditions.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was asked to present my findings to the whole department on one occasion, and I was also given responsibility for changing some important assumptions in a model.

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

    • It won't help me very much for my degree, but it will assist me enormously in developing my career in the short term.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • I wouldn't expect the office to be full of jokers so this is a pretty pointless question. The people were all very pleasant.

    2/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Everything went perfectly until the final week, but overall I was impressed.

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

    • A lot of training was given, and much was useful, although I would question the relevance of some of it.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events
    2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I would be very happy to accept a job offer if I receive one.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • I have made good friendships with my fellow interns and the social scene was very good.

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

    • Very expensive! But who cares?

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Didn't see much of it though

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were several opportunities arranged for us by HR and I made my own contacts too.
