    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Genuinely an all-round excellent placement. Would absolutely recommend to others considering a career in this area.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was in a really good team that made me feel welcome and kept me busy throughout the six weeks. I was treated as a permanent member of staff not as an intern.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I had weekly catch ups with my people manager. These were very relaxed informal chats to see how I was getting on. I knew he was always available to help me find work if ever I had capacity.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • As to be expected with an internship, there were busier times than others but on the whole I usually had tasks to do.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was treated like an associate, not an intern. I was made fully involved on lots of client projects, not just shadowing but doing actual work for them.

    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 was offered a job for when I graduate in the same team in the same department. Therefore, what I have learnt over the last 6 weeks gives me a good head start when I go back next year.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Really relaxed office environment. Everyone was very friendly and made a real effort to make me feel welcome. They have introduced a 'dress for your day' policy where you dress according to what you have in your diary.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very well organised. Started with a 3 day induction for all UK interns at a hotel in Windsor. This was an excellent introduction to meet all the other interns in a social environment. There were also great networking opportunities including a Partners Dinner.

    5/5

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