    The Role

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

    • This was my first job at a corporate firm. But I felt at home. Both, my team and the HR were very accommodating and helpful.

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

    • It was great to be part of interesting work. Many of the bankers involved me in live projects which was a great learning experience. The whole work environment was very friendly.

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

    • The bankers always solved my queries. They were also readily involved in discussions with regard to work. They also helped me on other fronts as well spanning from personal to career advice.

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

    • Investment Banking could keep you really busy at times. When one gets accustomed to juggling 4-5 urgent assignments at a time, I often found it boring when I had fewer tasks at hand.

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

    • Responsibility given exceeded my expectations. I did not feel that I was an intern and felt at home.

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

    • My presentation and excel skills, apart from the knowledge about the Investment Banking sector, improved a lot during the tenure of the Internship. These skills have already started paying dividends in my studies. I am sure they will help me in future as well.

    5/5

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

    • Did not find anything out of place. A smooth process/set up.

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

    • I often attended various training sessions which helped me a lot to get the work done during the Internship period.

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

    • They seem to be quite good. Even I would grab the chance of working at Rothschild without second thoughts.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes there was. Not only fellow interns but Bankers as well. We often went out on Thursdays and Fridays for Drinks/coffee/dinner.

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

    • London can be an expensive city. But they pay you well to sustain without any complaints.

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

    • Central London, a few bars around the area. But night clubs are not far.

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