    The Company

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

    • There was always a upbeat atmosphere in the office and even when everyone was busy doing something, they were always willing to take a moment to explain things or answer questions

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

    • In my opinion, the overall internship was very well set up. As an intern from Ghana, right from when I had my assessment centre in Ghana to the moment I got an offer till when the actual internship began, the Campus team was constantly in touch to update me on the next steps in the process and what I had to do.

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

    • BofAML invested a lot in my training and development over the period. Interns had a full week of training specific to their divisional areas, and as a Global Markets intern, I had an additional 3 days of training to help prepare me for the work I would do on my desk. Throughout the internship, the Campus HR team constantly had catch ups and drop in sessions to find out if there was anyway they could help make your experience better. I always felt I could reach out to HR if I had any challenges and they were always willing to help.

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

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

    • From the very first day, you are made away of the fact that if you perform well enough and are willing to learn, you have got a place with them.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Interns in my division were very bonded and constantly organised drinks and weekends out so we could get to know each other better. It was always easy to reach out to fellow interns who were higher up on the academic calendar or who knew more than I did to ask questions and be taught.

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

    • The cost of living in my area was pretty reasonable. There were large supermakets like Tesco and Sainsbury's just a walk away from my hall of residence.

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

    • I was not very active in the nightlife landscape but I was very much aware of a vibrant scene.

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

    • I was made to feel very much a part of the bank, and interns were allowed to join employee networks and get invited to general events and network events, so outside of work, I took part in a number of activities.

    5/5
