    The Role

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

    • The flexibility given regarding tasks made work less repetitive. However, it's just me when it comes to not liking banking in general

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was invited to many social events outside of work which i found welcoming.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Help was always available when asked for but they did seem unapproachable at first.

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

    • Strange mix of having loads of things to do at one point and then nothing to do. Needs to be worked on in my opinion.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Not much but to me, that wasn't a problem considering my role.

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

    • Good concentration as well as absorbing information and deriving facts. Quite useful with a math degree

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Not a single problem from anyone and instead all smiles and unity.

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

    • Good computer systems and work given was organised. Initial instructions were slightly convoluted

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

    • Good computers and focus on degree e/g gave me work related to maths while people who did law had work which was somehow related to that field.

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

    • Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • banking isn't my cup of tea, nothing bad about lloyds and would recommend them to people interested in the field

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Probably the best aspect of the internship. Very social atmosphere

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

    • Same reason as above

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

    • Isn't this the same question as the social aspects.. so same as above.

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

    • Yeah mainly due to the events organised for socialising

    4/5
