    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I feel like I got I good insight to the firm and met a lot of nice and interesting people. Ten weeks was also a good amount of time to get to know the firm and make a decision if it was something for you or not.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • The people that I worked with were very nice from the moment I hit the desk. I felt welcomed by everyone and over the ten weeks, I felt like everyone listened to me including managers and people outside of my team.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I got a lot of support from my "buddy" who I worked with a lot during the summer. She was always helpful and guided me through my projects. My manager was also very helpful in guiding and supporting me. The questions that I had to HR were few but they were always answered.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I think I could have been a bit more busy. At some points I was a bit bored. I think I got this feeling because my expectations and prejudices were that I would work an enormous amount. I feel like I could have gotten more work if I asked for it so I do not blame anyone else for making the internship a bit boring at some points.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was not involved that much in the day to day tasks as I did not have access to the different data programs. However, in the projects that I did, I had the main responsibility of making sure that the projects were finished and implemented.

    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 got a lot more organized during the internship and I think that I became a bit more of an adult over the ten weeks. Furthermore, I think that I received valuable skills in teamwork, analytical thinking and presentation. All these things are vital parts for doing well university-wise and career-wise.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The atmosphere was very good an transparent. There were a lot of people working on the same floor which made it a bit tight in terms of space. Everyone was very friendly and it was easy to schedule catch-ups with people from different teams to get a coffee or discuss topics of interest.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very well organised. The only thing I would say is that the first week which is a training week could have been a bit more specific to the upcoming work. Otherwise, there was a clear structure with weekly catch-ups to give feedback and discuss questions that interns had.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • A lot of employees put a lot of time and effort to meet with me to discuss the projects that I had and how to improve them further. Moreover, I got a lot of time to work on my projects to make sure that they turned out good.

    4/5

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

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    National Travel

    International Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    Healthcare/Dental

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I believe that I have good chances of getting a job. I think that is appealing but I have not yet fully decided if I would take an offer or not.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • The other interns were very nice and we spent a lot of time together outside work during e.g. weekends. Other interns that did not work in my division were also open minded and friendly. The atmosphere between the interns were great and I would not say that there were any rivalry between us.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • London is very expensive so I tried not to go to restaurants during lunches etc. It was difficult to not spend a lot of money.

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • London is not a great place in terms of nightlife I would say. It is quite expensive and the big nightclubs require you to pay a lot if you want to get in. I much more preferred to hang with the other interns in someones apartment or at a smaller bar/pub.

    2/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • We interns organised a lot of activities ourselves. It was also easy to join networks within the firm to do different activities and such.

    4/5
