    The Role

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

    • Graduate recruitment made me feel welcomed immediately into the firm. For instance, on the first day we met our buddy (an associate in the firm) whom took us out to lunch and shared their experiences.

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

    • My colleagues made me feel like a valued member by constantly asking me for my opinions on various topics. In addition more senior staff took opportunities to talk to us while we were in the office.

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

    • We were assigned a counsellor from day one which meant that if we had any problems we contact them as the first port of call. Graduate recruitment were also always on hand to help if we had any specific issues eg holidays.

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

    • I was busy throughout my time, however, there was still enough time to do administrative tasks. Finishing at 5 was not always standard!

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

    • We were given a good level of responsibility for the work we were able to perform. When I asked for more work, colleagues were able to explain and trust me to work on more complex assignments.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I will take on board the communication, teamwork and problem solving skills which I can utilise during my degree and also in the world of work.

    4/5

    The Company

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

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

    • I received all information promptly and I felt that communication from HR was extremely effective.

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

    • Given the mentors, counsellors and buddies allocated to spend time, I believe the firm invested a significant amount of their resources.
