    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Highly enjoyable process but not a major fan of the rotational set-up.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Vast majority of people are willing to take time out of their calendars and spend time with you.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Constant feedback and updates on how I was doing was given throughout the internship. Proved highly useful however the transparency of the feedback is something that could be worked on (i.e. hearing different thoughts from different counterparties created confusion at some points of the programme).

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Highly busy. Constantly kept on my toes.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • A fair bit - the majority of my projects/assignments didn't have any direct impact on teams' day-to-day operations.

    2/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • As a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate, I feel that the skills I've gained won't have a direct impact on my degree however they will assist me greatly going forward as financial services is the industry I am aiming to get into post-graduation.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Highly positive overall.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very well-organised.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • 5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Flexi Time

    Sports and Social Club

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Financial Bonus

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • 5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • Built good, solid relationships with a wide range of interns throughout the programme.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Lived with family so no major expenses fell on my head.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Hardly went out in the area I worked in so answering this question would be unfair.

    2/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • 4/5
