    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed the culture of the firm as everyone was receptive and welcoming. I believe i've learnt so much about the industry from working here and its been an enjoyable learning experience.

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

    • From the first week I was given important work by colleagues to support them on which really gave me a sense of value and importance.

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

    • From the get go my supervisor had work prepared for me and set me long term intern project which kept me busy in between times of tasks. She had informed everyone before I came about me so a few colleagues had work ready for me after a week or two.

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

    • It varied by week but I on average I had some piece of work to do every day. There were certain periods which I was ultra busy such as the second to last week but there were a few days in which work was light but I had my long term project to do.

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

    • I was given a reasonable amount of responsibility due to my role. I played a key role in providing information of prospective clients for my colleagues which they are using to find new clients for the firm.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • My research skills and data filtering skills significantly developed due to the volume of data i had to filter through or find. This will help me in future roles and studies in which there is a lot of information to filter through and present to people in a simpler format.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • It was a welcoming office where everyone got along well with each other.

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

    • It was relatively well organised as speaker series were planned throughout the internship and support was in place. Maybe they could ask line managers to have colleagues have work prepared in advance to give.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I believe they invested reasonably in me with the speaker series which was really informative and the presentation training from Martin really helped me work on my presenting skills.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

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

    • They are reasonably appealing with the ability to choose where you go after your rotations. However after that I have no idea how easy it is to move between departments.

    3/5

    • I have no idea

    3/5
