    The Role

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

    • It gave me a good idea that I wasn't really cut out for this type of environment. I didn't really enjoy the lack of support during the placement.

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

    • Everyone was usually extremely busy and rushed off their feet. It seemed that we were just there to do general tasks. when we were given proper work I felt that the supervision could have been highly improved.

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I was given one main contact when I was there and they were supportive at times however they were not from the same department and I found that I didn't have much guidance from those around me.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was busy pretty much every day and often would leave the office at around 9pm.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Due to the nature of the work, I was given a small amount of responsibility. I was not too fussed as to the extent of the responsibilities I was given. I was more concerned about the support and training.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I definitely got to learn more about the industry as a whole and I made some good friends during my time there.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • The environment felt pressured. Even lunch times were quite short. My floor was not as bad as some of the others so I have heard!

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

    • The placement was set up well. Our initial training was probably the highlight of my time there.

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

    • As I mentioned, the firm gave us a two-week training course which was really beneficial for our day to day work. It was also a good learning curve into investment banking.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I wasn't successful in converting the internship but I knew from this that it was not really my cup of tea!

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was a good scene, events didn't happen as much as I would have liked, primarily because of the late finishes. Friday nights were a definite outing each week however!

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

    • For the money that I was getting paid, the cost of living was not too bad on the whole.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Nightlife was relatively good. It does not compare to university nights out though.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I was not aware of any other activities which I could participate in.
