The Role
It was very rewarding and enjoyable
I was always praised for my work by my colleagues
If I needed any help or advice I was able to get this without any problems
I was busy with the day-to-day aspects of the job however I would have liked more rewarding work, such as managing/working on projects and seeing the outcome of these
I was expected to complete the assignments I were given to a high quality
The time management and organisation skills will help me in my revision. I am able to take the technical knowledge I gained and build upon this at university
The Company
Relaxing and enjoyable - however may have been too informal at times
Very well structured - with lots of support
I was sent on training courses during my time on placement plus had plenty of time to settle in

The Culture
There were 30 placement students at the bank and we all got on very well
Very expensive - I lived in Camden which has high rent prices and around Bank was an expensive area
London nightlife was amazing, plenty of different bars/clubs to go to
Played 5-a-side football with colleagues etc
