Rating

9.1/10
  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • Admin work, communicating with various stakeholders, handling complex projects with amazing support - never the same boring thing.

    8/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • Microsoft Office, various software, confidence, meeting leadership

    10/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I love it - honestly the best opportunity compared to uni - my friends just constantly complain about their traditional route.

    10/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • Very well organised but HR can often be extremely slow.

    6/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • More than enough from each manager

    10/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • Enough - 1 day a week studying

    10/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • Very much so - the perfect degree to work in a corporate environment like this. My PDE Stacey is extremely helpful too.

    10/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • Volunteering events constantly but apprentices are not really encouraged as much as they should be.

    9/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend Visa to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • They treat you like you should be treated and there's no micro-managing. You are in control of your own work and you can fulfil your potential.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Visa?

    • Apply only if you're genuinely interested in the business world particularly the payments industry - if you think the way payments work, etc is boring - you won't like it. Me personally, I didn't know anything until I was actually in the job and I've been fascinated ever since.
