    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Work was quite testing and the hours were long but there was good support from everyone in the company and I feel like I learned a lot

    3/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • My colleagues worked well with me- I wasn't adding value to the team but they spent a lot of time with me and showed they were willing to invest in my growth

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was always able to get guidance from my mentors / HCM contacts when needed, this made the whole process a much easier experience

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I always had projects or mini tasks to work on, as well as numerous meetings and events throughout the day- there was never a dull moment

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Not a lot- as the placement was in trading I can't do anything until I don my FCA exams

    1/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I know going back to my final year I will be a lot more focused. The skills I have learned will definitely assist me when I hopefully return next year

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • This depends on the area- the programme is rotational and on some desks there was a much nicer atmosphere. This ultimately guided my decision on where I wanted to work

    3/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • There were a lot of organised events which were very helpful but a lot of the placement was self-guided. This suited me but not everyone would have felt the same

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • People always took time to sit with me and teach me things even after having a long day themselves or when they were busy which was really appreciated.

    4/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    2/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Looking good but no formal offers until 2 weeks after the internship ends.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • Yes but we were also all very tired due to the long hours so socialising rarely lasted long.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Central London- High rent, high general cost of living

    1/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Central London has plenty of options

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Not many as an intern but I think as a full time worker more become available

    3/5
