    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my internship in the Change Management Team. I had lots of exposure to different areas of the bank. The support of my manager was invaluable, she was very supportive and pushed me to take more responsibility. The downside was that the things in banks move very slowly, so there were days I was really bored.

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

    • My colleagues were brilliant, very supportive. Which I cannot say about the fellow grads, they felt like they came for holidays, they did not respect the jobs they were given, have not replied to emails, the recruitment process was really bad.

    1/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager was really supportive, she scheduled calls with me every Friday to make sure I am ok.

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

    • I was moderately busy, I managed to have time to do my job, have lunch and also some free time to write down my thoughts on what I am doing.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given quite a lot of responsibility, including the management meeting.

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

    • I understood more of what I want to do in the future.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere was very friendly. We had lunches together, my manager was great, she would send me on some additional training and allowed me to organise meetings with senior people.

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

    • It was quite badly organised because people were scattered across UK so it was hard to work together on grad projects.

    1/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I have no opinion on that because we did not have any personal training.

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

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I decided to reject the graduate offer and seek other employment as I could not see future there. But I imagine some other people may be more inclined to work in the bank.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • We were staying in student halls all together so it was fun, but otherwise no.

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

    • It was in Cardiff, so it was not too bad.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Parties every Friday/ Saturday.

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

    • Not really.
