    The Role

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

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone works hard in the office but there is also a fun atmosphere with consultants eating lunch together and organising socials. It would have also been nicer if interns were allowed to rank their competency preference. I felt the questionnaire answers should not be used to allocate the competencies as the answers can be interpreted in different ways.

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

    • I would have liked the internship to be much longer! Five weeks were not sufficient to understand completely the culture of the firm.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The company has a mentorship programme in place to allow for training and development.

    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Interns are extremely valued and are likely to be offered a position.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Due to the nature of consulting, it was difficult to work and see other inters. However, there were good a amount of socials organised which allowed the interns to meet after office hours.

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

    • I lived at home and so there was not much cost. When at the client site, all expenses are reimbursed.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • With a busy schedule, you won't have time to go out during weekdays. It also depends where your client is based.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Most of the time you will be at the client site and so the opportunities available will depend on the client.
