    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Good insight into the business and how things work in a bank. Sometimes not much to do.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Great environment. Everyone makes you feel welcomed, included senior management.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Everything I had to do was very clear.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Some days were boring. Looking back I wish I had asked for more work, but wasn`t sure there was anything for me to do.

    2/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Enough to deal with serious matters to the bank. Some of the projects were more relevant than others.

    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 study economics, so working for the Investment office helped me out and broadened my knowledge.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Very nice, relaxed and welcoming.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • It was quite organised for shadowing and insights into the business. Not as much with regards to the actual work we were supposed to do.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • LBG does make you feel relevant to the organisation, and there is always the reminder of the Graduate Scheme.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • National Travel

    International Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I will be applying for one. The Graduate scheme sounds like a very well structured program, and I am looking forward to see how my internship could develop into some more concrete day-to-day job.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • We mostly lived in the same housing, so it was very easy to socialise with the other interns.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • London - nothing more to add.

    1/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Between Islington (where the residence is) and the City there is a good number of bars/pubs, and for a night out having Shoreditch at a walking distance is a great deal.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Always something to do in London, the Royal Albert Hall, the O2, the parks...

    4/5
