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

    • My team and people I worked with in the department always said when there was a job well done. Comments about not wanting me to leave and the quality of my work in their eyes made me feel a valued member of the department.

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

    • I had weekly meetings with my day-to-day manager to check I had enough work and the progress I was making with projects. I also had weekly reviews with my manager to check I felt I had the right level of work, whether there was anything else I wanted to experience whilst I was here and generally how everything was going.

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

    • None of the work I was given was just to fill my time. Every project I did would have been done by a permanent member of staff if I had not been there.

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

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

    The Culture

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

    • The analysts and associate, even sometime more senior people, in our team and within the department, would sometimes take us out for a drink on a friday, which was a good way to discover them on a social scene

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

    • The cost for eating was low as there was a choice of local places to eat. The only downside is bus/ tram fare, because they did do discount fare for uni students.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I got to hang out with fellow interns sometimes in really cool places.

    4/5
