    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed my internship at Deutsche Bank this summer. Not only was it an experience where the learning curve is essentially vertical but also, the people where incredibly helpful and all the interns got a long really well!

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Not only did I feel valued by my colleagues but I have never worked in such an environment with extremely bright and motivated people. I learnt as much from my colleagues as I did from the day-to-day demands of the job.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was given a huge amount of support by both my managers and other colleagues in my team. Whenever I was unsure of what I should be doing or needed help on how to do something was given as much help as needed, whenever it was needed.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was always given work to do, sometimes I was even working on 2 or more projects at once. This great amount of responsibility and work was challenging and exciting and allowed me to really broaden my understanding of the finance division in Deutsche Bank. I worked on projects from the monthly newsletter for the area I was in to working on important statements on excel.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I had a great deal of responsibility straight from the start. 2-3 people essentially run a project form start to finish. Wish that very few people hanging that much responsibility, I was in a position where I was given as much responsibility ass I demonstrated I can handle.

    3/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Throughout our internsip, we were given mid-term and final reviews on our skills and competencies. We were told where we were doing well and also where to improve and how we could improve. At the start of our internship we were given a weeks training which was very beneficial in order for us to hit the ground running once we started at our desk. A lot of what I learnt in this week has been useful in my degree as I am studying Finance, Accounting and Management. This has been very useful indeed!
