    The Role

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

    • I had an excellent experience at Morgan Stanley - the structure of the program was great, as one got exposure to many different parts of the business (rotational program). The program was organised well, and interns were given quite a fair amount of responsibility which made the experience even more tangible.

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

    • The work culture at Morgan Stanley is unique in terms of how flat the structure on trading floor is, while everyone is treated with a lot of respect.

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

    • I had the pleasure of working in excellent teams, where I was given a lot of guidance when needed - in general it is the case that when interns show enthusiasm and put in effort, people are more than happy to help interns to achieve their goals and progress in their learning experience.

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

    • Some days turned out to be quite hectic, however this is not a bad thing, it rather teaches the skill of time management.

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

    • Amongst other projects, I was working on presentations that were later on used to present to clients as I put them together - of course I was given guidance and my work was double-checked, however I could feel that my ideas/ creativity in those projects was appreciated and taken seriously.

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

    • The excel training was very useful. The financial market training was very helpful, for my internship but also for life and my future job.

    4/5
