    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Yes, right from the first week we got started on client work. Each work is checked by 2 others so it gave me responsibility while being safe in the knowledge anything I do wrong is corrected. We were also given feedback on all our work which improved my confidence when having to do similar work.


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

  • How would you rate the support and guidance from the wider team?

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • They have a great DEI team that organise events to encourage people to learn about each others cultures. On my assessment day there was a food festival where people bought food in from their culture and others got to try. The general atmosphere and culture is fantastic, everyone gets on with everyone and there are regular socials.

    Your Impressions

  • I loved this internship and am sad that it is coming to an end. I couldn’t fault it at all, I have learned so many new valuable skills not only pensions specific but also soft skills like using teams and excel.
