    The Role

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

    • Very enjoyable experience on the Lloyds Clients and Markets internship. I received lots of training and was able to gain exposure to different parts of the bank. My colleagues were lovely and very supportive of my needs, allowing me to constantly enhance my experiences.

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

    • I gained exposure to a variety of deals and was trusted to help further different tasks despite being an intern.

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

    • My line manager was extremely supportive and approachable. I was able to ask for feedback and guidance whenever and wherever possible.

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

    • I joined during a busy period for my team, so workload was quite heavy, but manageable.

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

    • I took ownership on a few projects, and was given tasks to complete without guidance (but was always able to ask for help when needed). However, as an intern working in a client facing role, there were limitations with regards to responsibilities, mainly due to lack of experience

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

    • I developed lots of soft-skills which are useful and applicable to a variety of tasks e.g. excel, public speaking etc. Other training I received was more relevant to the specific team and job I was working in, so it is useful if I were to pursue a career in the same sector but maybe not so relevant to a science/ engineering degree.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Atmosphere was very much team specific. There is usually a good balance

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • A lot better than I had expected. Again, it was team/ division dependant, but my division had well organised training sessions and a few socials too. IT seemed to be a problem at times but was solvable.

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

    • They organised extra training sessions outside of the company e.g. Bloomberg training session They are willing to further personal training and development

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • They have been very supportive with helping good applicants secure permanent employment within the organisation

    4/5

    • Team specific, but some social events occurred

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Based around quite an expensive area, however interns from outside of London were provided with accommodation during the duration of the internship

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

    • A few bars for after work drinks but not much of a nightlife scene happening.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • occasionally, but you usually have to be keen and seek them for yourself
