Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As an intern I have attended some client meetings, some underwriting meetings in the Lloyds building, and have helped with creating broking notes for the brokers and do admin things and endorsements online.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
As much as I can be given as an intern with no professional qualifications. I have helped with what I can and gone to the meetings that have been appropriate for me to attend.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt a lot of Insurance language and have developed my excel skills and communication skills since I have met many new people everyday. Teamwork skills too since we had a group intern project to do.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
It was easy to communicate with my manager and I got enough guidance to start things by myself, where I could just ask questions on what I didnt know.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I think the culture is very social and its a lively atmosphere. However, in my team at least, there was a noticeable age difference between me and everyone else since there are no grad scheme people in the team currently. This made it a little bit difficult to relate to the team members so I sometimes felt left out but it was unavoidable.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?
