Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I had various jobs including researching the companies covered, comparing Jefferies estimates to consensus estimates, and writing client-focused notes of research.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot more responsibility than I ever thought I would be. In my first few weeks, my research was included in emails sent to clients.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
In the week-long training course we were offered, I learnt many Excel hacks, as well as how to value stocks. On the job itself, I massively developed my people skills, and learnt a lot more about the two particular sectors I worked with. I have also learnt how to measure the accuracy of our estimates, and concisely convey our research to clients.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received the perfect amount of support and guidance. I did not feel like my hand was being held, nor that I was being given way too much to do. It was a perfect inbetween of feeling intellectually challenged, but not being nervous about not knowing what to do.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The atmosphere was friendly, intellectually stimulating, with a very flat structure. Anyone was happy to speak to me, no matter how high up (Associates, MDs). Everyone seemed grateful to have us interns, and really made sure we were getting the best from the experience too.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?
