    The Role

    • A great work/personal life balance and a great working environment. The new offices in London Bridge are fantastic.

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

    • As an intern, we were still given the level of responsibility of a new graduate joiner.

    4/5

    • My people manager was fantastic support

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

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

    • Lots of responsibility doing a variety of work which will be reviewed by someone more senior but ultimately I was responsible and had to take ownership of a piece of work.

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

    • Interpersonal skills and computing skills were useful. There was also useful training at the beginning about doing the job itself and understanding audit work.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • I had a great department

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

    • I think there could have been better communication from the student recruitment team in organising exit interviews and certain meetings. The group presentation could also have used some work.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • They were very keen to develop me as a person and an asset and were keen to show me the potential opportunities for development within the company.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events

    4/5

    • I was even offered a deferred place

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Good interns, graduates and existing members of staff

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

    • Socialising in London is always expensive but not too bad

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Being in Central London means there is no end of nightlife.

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

    • I'm sure there were but I didn't. I live in London so already had "activities"
