    The Role

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

    • I have really enjoyed my internship here. I felt there was always something to do and my team really took an interest in my ideas and gave my real responsibility on the job.

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

    • My manager and buddy ensured that I had enough to do but also that I was not overwhelmed with work. The team gave me tasks that they would expect a full time analyst to do and the projects I was working on had real use.

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

    • Managers both in and out of my team were more than happy to spend time with me to walk me through different ideas and concepts or to offer support on different projects I was working on.

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

    • I felt my team didn't overload me with work but also made sure that I had something to work on. How busy I was varied throughout the internship, but at no point did I feel I had too much to cope with or absolutely nothing to do.

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

    • I was given the same responsibility as a new analyst would have in the team. Also, the projects I was working on had real uses and would be used by the team to make their day to day lives easier and more efficient

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

    • I learnt a lot about different financial products and how they are traded, I also learnt a lot of excel skills, including VBA, which will no doubt be useful in the future.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere felt very relaxed and I felt I could approach anyone in the office if I had any questions or wanted any clarifications.

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

    • My manager organised a shadowing schedule were I sat with everyone in my team for a couple hours to get a more thorough understanding of what everyone does.

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

    • Throughout the internship HR organised numerous personal effectiveness sessions and insight sessions, which allowed us to expand our knowledge of the different businesses and how they interact with each other and also develop soft skills like public speaking.

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

    • Interns are offered places on the graduate scheme depending on their performance and I feel that internal mobility is a part of the firms culture.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Intern class was relatively small, so found it very easy to get to know all the other interns.
