    The Role

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

    • The work itself and the experiences I was able to undertake were great BUT large amounts of time were spent with not much, if any, work therefore bringing the enjoyment factor right down.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My colleagues treated me well and on the occasions that they were in the office, were fantastic.

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

    • The managers and senior colleagues were always there fore support and guidance when needed. They always take time out of their very busy schedules to help when needed. This can be experienced across the whole of LBG as I have experienced.

    5/5

    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 don't feel that I improved or developed much to be honest.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • The office can be as quiet as a Library at times despite having a large amount of people being present. Noone seems to know who the person they're sitting next to even is.

    1/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • My placement was organised well but this would vary dependant on manager to manager

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Absolutely not amongst colleagues but amongst other interns, we often met up for lunch and arranged to go out for drinks.

    1/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The usual London cost of living.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Central London has a fantastic nightlift

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I myself am not aware of many opportunities but there is a charity challenge which is good fun and an opportunity to have a varied work load as well as meet some other interns.
