Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

My everyday looked quite different for the time I've been working and I can say that this for me was a positive as I never got bored or tire of work. I had to do quite a lot of member benefit calculations and also got involved in client meetings and accounting work.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I've had the chance to be quite involved in almost all areas I was able to as an intern, which was definitely much more than I would have expect.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I've learned a lot of pensin schemes which I wasn't too knowledgable in. I've definitely greatly developed my communication, time management and organisational skills. I improved a lot on Excel and got very comfortable of using complex functions on it.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I was assigned 2 buddies both of which were very helpful and answered every question I had. I also had a very lovely manager to whom I was able to communicate any concerns or questions very comfortably. Everyone made me very welcome and comfortable to be my authentic self.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

My office has a lot of new recruits as well as a few senior people. The office culture was very welcoming and friendly. It was definitely friendlier than expected, where everyone made sure to include you in any event/social.
