    The Role

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

    • During my placement I discovered that working in this particular avenue of banking was not the direction I want to take my career in. I didn't really enjoy the day to day work, but really appreciate the insight into what I wouldn't like to do.

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

    • Very friendly atmosphere within the team with a good balance between working and banter.

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

    • It's difficult to say as I wasn't really there long enough to need support or guidance by management.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • The role entails periods of inactivity, so I wasn't busy all of the time. However, this wasn't the fault of JPM, it's just that the work comes in stages throughout the day.

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

    • I was supervised, but left to make decisions and run them past the experienced members of the team before acting upon them.

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

    • Highly appreciative of the insight into a job that I don't want to do in the future, but I didn't really develop any skills other than furthering my ability to interact with other people whilst working within a team.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • As I said before, there was the right balance between work and play, so the atmosphere was jovial at times, but also focused when necessary.

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

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

    • I wasn't really there for long enough to receive much training during the week, so that's not a negative reflection on JPM.

    1/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 0/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The placement led to a job during my gapy year for nine months.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • I think the team went out for drinks occassionally, but I did not participate as I lived too far away to stay after work in the evenings.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I lived at home, so living was very cheap.

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

    • I didn't experience it.

    0/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I wasn't presented with any, but there could have been.
