    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • The internship was more enjoyable than expected, although it was incredibly tough, the team was incredible and I enjoyed a lot of the work I did and found it super interesting.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • This was a consequence of the importance of the work I did. All of the work was important and useful for my colleagues, and a lot of them showed their appreciation for the quality of my work and how much time it saved them.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • There was constant support, any time I had questions people would be willing to help. The only issue was sometimes people were incredibly busy so support wasn't always quickly received, but this is understandable.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • It was incredibly busy, but this is understandable. At times there were late nights but it's part and parcel of the job. It did mean you were really tired though.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • As touched upon before, I was given a lot of responsibility, far more than I expected before starting the internship.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I learned so much on the internship, not as relevant for my degree but will certainly be useful for me job in future and just for general awareness of the financial markets and my own investments.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Other desks weren't as fun as mine, but my particular desk was very jovial a lot of the time with a lot of office banter and throwing balls around, it was a great environment to work in.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Incredibly well organised, can't think of any major flaws in the set up of the internship.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • There wasn't much formal training, but that wasn't really useful anyway. There was a lot of investment in my development on the desk, especially certain individuals who took a lot of time out to teach me concepts and how to do things.

    4/5

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

    Financial Bonus

    Healthcare/Dental

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Very good prospects at the moment.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • Great bunch of interns, good social scene with numerous drinks with interns, sometimes was difficult to get people together but overall it was good.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Central London is hardly known for being cheap.

    1/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Again, central London has plenty of nightlife options.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Opportunities were available, but time wasn't really.

    3/5
