    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The culture at Lloyds Banking Group was great. I worked in a really open friendly atmosphere and everyone was more than willing to give up time to chat even if they were at a very senior level in the company.

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

    • I had an excellent line manager who was very supportive and great to work with. He gave me the right level of guidance and if there was ever an issue personal or work related I was able to go to them without a worry.

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

    • Varied during my time here - however if it was easy to approach people to ask more work. When I had a lot on it was a good challenge and nothing was ever unmanageable.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a good amount of responsibility during my placemet.I was given events to organise and calls to run which was great. It has given me a lot of confidence.

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

    • The skills that I have learnt will allow me to be a lot more efficient and organised during my last year at uni - which will let me achieve the results I want to and still keep up everything else.
