    The Role

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

    • Great company culture. A lot of effort put in to make sure everyone gets to know a little bit about all the company's divisions and activities. Great infrastructure and technology. The downside was that the work performed was quite easy, I was not too busy and never felt out of my comfort zone. The hours were also not very long (approx. 10 a day). I wish I had worked more

    1/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Not much. But probably expected of interns.

    1/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Not much because my degree is not directly related to the financial industry.

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

    • In terms of resources and monetary investment, probably a lot. In terms of giving me projects that would force me to reinvent myself and improve a lot my skills and work capabilities, not much.

    • Subsidised/Company Gym
    3/5

    3/5

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