    The Role

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

    • It was a great experience as we got 3 main rotations and had mini ones that gave us an idea of the roles and activities on the different desks within the division

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

    • I felt included in the teams I worked with but it varied from team to team depend on the size and job roles. With a smaller team its a lot easier to fit in and be included where as in one team they pretty much kept to themselves

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

    • There were enough support groups put in place for the interns and it ranged from MDs all the way to analysts so there was always someone to turn to

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

    • After the first week of settling in the work began to come in and majority of the time you were kept busy a ject to work on. To be fair some projects had deadlines that kept you in the office till pretty late and sometimes over the weekend

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

    • To be honest it depended on the project you had been given.

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

    • The internship involved a lot of networking on almost a daily basis and this is a skill that will have to be used throughout life in all parts of business

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The people were a lively bunch to work with

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

    • There were too many projects piled on to the end of the internship, which is when we would prefer to be at our desks and making a good impression to lete them know we wanted the job

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

    • We had a good introductory training week at the beginning of the internship

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

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

    • Havent been informed yet on whether or not I got a job. Takes a week after the inernship to ofind out. Which doesnt make sense as they pretty much know who they want to hire already, itd be great to hear on the last day

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were enough projects adn social events organized for us to get to know one another better

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

    • Seeing as it is London, cost of travel was high and so was rent as can be expected.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There were a number of night time social events organized by interns as well as HR

    4/5

    • It was pretty much just work events over the 10 weeks
