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

    • Other managers and team members came up with lots of things I could be responsible for which my line managers vetoed.

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

    • From all the shadowing I did I did learn about different areas of the bank, which I found very useful. But I have now decided that I really want to do Audit Accounting.

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • The office as a whole great, the atmosphere in my team was not good due to the management being unaware of what the system was capable of, thus caused more stress and know guidance.

    2/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Poor! My team found out 2 days before I was coming so nothing was planned, and my manager should have been told what an intern was.
