    The Role

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

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

    • All members of the finance department were friendly and approachable, and I always felt that I could ask for their advice/assistance with any queries I had.

    5/5

    • As per question 3.

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

    • My levels of activity fluctated depending upon the time of the year/month. Generally, there was always enough work to keep me busy.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • For certain tasks I was given a high level of responsibilty (managing the debit card program for example), however for other tasks I was understandably given less responsibilty.

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

    • N/A. I have not restarted any studying since my placement ended.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Understandably, in such a busy work environment there was not much chance for 'fun'. However, there was still a good atmosphere in the office and everyone was very friendly.

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

    • There was always work available to keep myself and the other interns busy throughout the whole 12 months.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • As I was only there for 12 months the personal training I received was fairly limited. Though the training I did receive was very useful in helping me carry out my work.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • National Travel
    1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I am already considering applying for a DEG (Direct Entry Graduate) position with them.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were intern events organised for every fortnight, ranging from simple things like visits to the pub to more complex evens such as weekends away.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I did not live in the area, I commuted daily, so I am not best placed to answer this question.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Being so close to a major city centre (Bristol) there was always a wide choice of pubs/clubs to visit.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Similarly to question 14, being so close to a City Centre the number of activities available were extensive.
