    The Role

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

    • The culture, environment is very pro-growth. You get given real work that is genuinely useful and will more than likely be used further on in a deal. I rarely found myself bored with nothing to do.

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

    • People showed a genuine interest in not only your career ambitions and personal interests. Once you showed you were able to do a piece of work well, more responsibility was given, which was a great learning experience.

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

    • Continuously. Supervisors are quite hands on and tend to provide continuous feedback that's not sugar coated - which is quite refreshing.

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

    • Most of the time quite busy. Yes there were moments that were quieter, but generally I always had a solid amount of work to do.

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

    • Much of the work that one completed was then passed onto someone more senior and was then used in a deal, whether it was a pitch, analytical data and more.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • This internship helped me understand what I like and what I don't like. In terms of assisting my degree, I don't think it helped much, beyond however, I think it helped me find my niche.

    3/5

    • 3/5
