    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • i found i was actually given work that i felt was of use to the team and it was extremely satisfying to see the slides you worked on then appearing in a final client book that was sent to a client. I was also able to directly update clients on a weekly/daily basis which was extremely exciting

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I found my colleagues to always be very appreciative of the work that i did for them and genuinely did seem grateful. They always seemed willing and eager to help me out on my questions and by the end of the programme i had made some very good friends with them all

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • there was a a very strong support system - we were supported by all levels of workers at GS - we were all assigned a HMC mentor who was always available to meet with us and i often met with her on a weekly basis, we were also given a buddy for was an analyst and then we had a business unit manager and a VP sponsor

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Some days were quieter then others - often the worked came in ebs and flows but the majority of the time i was very busy and was working long hours

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I believe i was given quite a lot of responsibility - to start with every single tiny piece of work was checked a million times before it was sent to anyone but i then became more trusted within my team and was given a lot more responsibility - i sent out 2 daily emails to different clients and 3 weekly ones to other clients

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I study economics at university so the general knowledge i gained during this programme will help to support my studies and if this is a career i go into in the future then i believe the training will be invaluable - we started the programme with a full week of training and also received lots more throughout the next 9 weeks

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • It was a very positive attitude the people i worked with all seemed to get along well with each other and cared about each others lives outside of work as well as in. There was a huge amount of support and everyone was every friendly but also worked extremely hard

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • It was organised well we had lots of contact points throughout the progamme in which we had further training or had the opportunity to meet with other seniors within the bank - in ran very smoothly and being able to intern in two divisions was also extremely beneficial

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • We had a weeks worth of training to begin with in which we all learnt a huge amount and then had multiple sessions each week where we continued to learn on a formal basis but each day just at the desk you learn a huge amount and lots of GS colleagues were more then happy to take the time out of their days to sit down with you and talk something through

    5/5

  • Subsidised Canteen

    Healthcare from home

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • All the interns got on very well and we often went for drinks together on a friday or met up at the weekend to explore London

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • It was pricey to rent accommodation - but that is just london for you and where i was staying was a 10/15 minute walk from the offices which was ideal and i was willing to pay for that. Its a big city and its popular with a lot of demand so you need to accept it wont be cheap

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • It was good - london has something to offer to everyone so of course we all had fun

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • we all got involved on a community teamworks day and i believe there were sports teams you could join, though i did not
