    The Role

    • I am really happy about the internship.

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

    • All colleagues are willing to help when I have a question. They always spare their time and walk me through the process/difficulty/solution when I go to them.

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

    • My managers gave me 100% support and guidance and all I have to do was to ask.

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

    • Managers gave me clear objectives and goals that I could coordinate my workload. It depends on how I arrange my work. I could be either hectic or laid-back as long as I have my work done.

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

    • I started with little responsibility, such as admin work, to individually drive a (small) change.

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

    • It helped me understand project management within technology.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • People here are helpful and kind. I haven't seen anything like The Wolf of Wall Street in the office.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I received a detailed down-to-hours schedule for the whole ten weeks. All training and events started and ended promptly.

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

    • Managers and colleagues were willing to train me.

    • I would certainly like the graduate scheme offer and work in RBS.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • We have a whatsapp group and go to pub a lot!

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

    • What can I say? It's London.

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

    • Again, what can I say? It's London.

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

    • We have CSR challenge to raise money for a charity.
