    The Role

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

    • Very good experience

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

    • At Rothschild even the most senior people assign projects to interns, something that does not often happen in other companies where the structure tends to be more hierarchical; people were always extremely nice and thanked me whenever I did something for them

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

    • Extremely friendly, supportive and also very honest

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

    • It fluctuated a lot; some days really busy and some days rather relaxed

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

    • Depends on the person giving you the job. More senior people generally gave me more responsibility to interns than more junior employees.

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

    • My accounting knowledge has improved considerably, other skills I developed include power point and excel, basic valuation techniques and communication skills

    5/5

    The Company

    • HR put a lot of effort organising events/presentations/socials

    4/5
