    The Role

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

    • Enjoyed the placement a lot. There were some areas of work that were more enjoyable than others, but on the whole it interested me. It was a friendly environment where I felt my work was valued.

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

    • I was very comfortable with my team, and felt they valued me. Thought that we could have had a few more after work events, but during work I felt well integrated into the team.

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

    • There is bi-weekly updates outlining what is expected from interns, and what they want us to learn. This is also reiterated by the line managers. We are given challenges throughout which also help to form our experience.

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

    • Every day was different, but on average I had plenty of work to be doing. The work-load rarely got too much, but if it did my team would understand if something wasn't done.

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

    • I was given quite a bit of responsibility. Some of the work I did was for live projects and so responsibility was high.

    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 learnt banking specific skills during my time here which would help me for any career I have in the sector. Also ive learnt how to work in an office environment, with a team who have similar objectives.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone was really friendly and got along. I wish there were a few more events outside the office, such as after work events.

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

    • Very well organised, the bi-weekly updates were very helpful. It was clear to us as interns what was expected, and what our learning objectives were.

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

    • They invested a lot. I felt the company cared about my personal development, rather than just having me to help with work.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • Still undecided, but my time here has not made me consider a future in this industry any less.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Very good. There was a great atmosphere in accommodation and we all got along.

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

    • In a capital city so not too cheap but if you budgeted responsibly it was fine.

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

    • It was alright - a night is what you make it.

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

    • Some things but nothing more than in any area.
