Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is with the process experience team which handles BPMN from teams all over the firm. I participate in daily standups and onboarding meetings. I created a dashboard for the team to track their progress on handling client requests.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
It's adequate amount, I do not have to participate in all of the daily tasks that the team has to do and my manager gives me quite a lot of autonomy in exploring and understanding the culture and the operation of the firm.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes, this role is more like a business analyst using some programming languages. I have also gained soft skills like communication and networking skills. My business analytical skills have also improved from understanding different clients' requests.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I would say a lot, I reach out to my manager and an analyst of my team if I come across a problem, if they couldn't solve it, we raise the question to the entire team before reaching to other relevant teams for help. My manager also scheduled weekly catchups to review my progress.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Very friendly, they encourage interns to do catchups with basically everyone in the firm. People are very nice to make time to interact with us and give us a lot of career advice and business insights. I also have good work life balance during the internship.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Very much, except that I didn't get assigned to the team that I applied to and interviewed with and only got noticed 2 weeks before the internship. But the team that I interned with is very friendly and supportive.
