    The Role

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

    • Great rotational program. Key in Global Markets where each desk is different

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

    • Current employees made sure I had something to do and explained everything with detail. Relation with other interns was quite fake in general.

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

    • Constantly, at least on the teams I've been.

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

    • Depended on the rotation but I always had something to do. Either the intern project or desk work.

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

    • Not much, as an intern its hard to add value to a trading desk. However, I was given some interesting analysis to work on. Maybe it wasn't useful for them but I felt important :)

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

    • Just for general knowledge. Everything is different in reality, not similar to theory books!

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Very positive. People here are inclusive (however, you can always find some people who aren't)

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

    • Impressive work from HR. I made the most out of a 10-week program

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

    • My managers spent a lot of time with me. Everyone was willing to help and teach me. That is the best an intern can get (apart from a bloomberg terminal - very useful)

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

    • Subsidised/Company Gym
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I don't really expect a full time offer but Nomura has a huge potential in exotic products.

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • Other students were quite friendly but at the end of the internship you see completely different people. This was the worst part of the internship. It was quite sad

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Not much time for socialising, however, there is a cool pub downstairs.

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

    • I never went to the area I work at nights.

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

    • Many activities were organised (criket, football, etc)

    4/5
