    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • The learning curve is amazing. Professional environment where you get the luxury to be around the smartest people for 10 weeks, but still very approachable nice people that want to help you succeed.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • They appreciated every thing you helped out with. But in the securities division it is a bit different because you do not really do work that they will use (like in IBD for example), it is more about constantly showing your skills and what you have learned by presenting or sit down with people.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Fantastic help and support through out the internship. Both from HCM, buddies, mentors and other people supporting you as well.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Busy. During the day you have to spend time with the desk and network, hence you do not have time to work on projects. This has do be done more or less at COB. So early mornings and late nights.

    2/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • You do not really produce work that they will use or have roles that are facing clients etc - maybe distinctive to the securities division. But you still get a lot of work that will help you develop and give opportunity to show your skills.

    3/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Have never learned this much in my entire life under such short period of time. Cannot be compared to school, university or living abroad. You do not just develop technical skills but also how to network and pitch yourself.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Fast paced, fun and interactive.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • HCM did a great job in organising the internship.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Everyone takes their time to help you succeed.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Subsidised/Company Gym

    International Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • The goal of most interns.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • Everyone is nice and helpful.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • London is expensive, but also very fun.

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • It's London not much to say.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Different interesting networks, I enjoyed women's networking events.

    4/5
