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

    • They really try to support you, give you guidances However you don't choose the teams you are put in. You can give some preferences but a lot of persons never got any of their choices without any real explanation.

    4/5

    • It is a good busy. You worked a lot but the teams always understand if you have a mandatory event for example. The team is always here working with you.

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

    • I was given some responsabiltiies. 5 or 4 weeks in each team is a really short time so it's complicated to have full responsabilties but for the time that I have been in the team I think they tried to give me some responsabilities

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

    • I learned a lot. What I learned will be really useful for me in terms of technical skills, netwokring, new products, new industry. I have gained a really good understanding of the bank, of the role of each person within the firm.
