    The Role

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

    • The Summer Internship was very well structured. The activities organized were suited to my interests and allowed me to get to know the firm and the other Interns better. I got along very well with my team and I found all the tasks completed very challenging and rewarding.

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

    • My team was very heterogeneous in terms of nationalities and backgrounds: this allowed me to try different approaches when dealing with daily tasks and to broaden my knowledge (both of the firm and in a more general sense). Every member of the team helped me to develop and learn during the Internship. I felt integral part of the team, thanks also to some informal moments we spent together.

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

    • My line manager was not only exceptionally good in her job role, but she was also for me a great mentor and an excellent teacher. I learned so much everyday from her and she was able to include me in many activities that allowed me to feel truly part of the team.

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

    • The daily amount of work was sustainable, but at the same time challenging. It required attention to details and considerable analytical skills. However, the fact of being in a team composed by very nice people made my days in the office very pleasant.

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

    • I think I was given the right amount of responsibility considering the short duration of the Internship.

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

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
