The Role

Role Description

Environment and character artist, generating 3D content for RuneScape.

1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
★★★★★★★★★

Rated 9/10

As work was completed quickly, it was great to work on fresh ideas and concepts.

2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
★★★★★★★★☆☆

Rated 8/10

I was made to feel very welcome and was able to settle into the team quickly.

3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
★★★★★★★★★

Rated 9/10

I had great communication with my superiors, and questions I had were answered immediately.

4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
★★★★★★★★★

Rated 9/10

I was required to work quickly, but it has prepared me for the speed of the industry. The office was a comfortable and friendly environment to work in.

5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
★★★★★★★★☆☆

Rated 8/10

If I displayed interest in a certain project, everything was done to make sure I worked on it. I was constantly asking for more responsibility and it was given to me.

6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
★★★★★★★★★

Rated 9/10

It has developed my skills greatly. I have noticed huge improvements in my work since working at the company, and will certainly reflect through my 3rd year work.

The Organisation

7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
★★★★★★★★☆☆

Rated 8/10

The graphics team I worked within had some real characters, I got on well with everyone and well made to feel welcome.

8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
★★★★★★★★☆☆

Rated 8/10

There was a dedicated team in place who organised the scheme. There were plenty of jollies for the students to get to know eachother.

9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rated 7/10

As one of the only placements working within the modeling team, they put a lot of trust in me to work at a professional level. I was working along side a senior artist who I could ask anything of, and help was always offered.

10. What were the perks on your work placement?
★★★★★★★★☆☆

Rated 8/10

  • Subsidised/Company Gym
  • Company Parties/Events
  • Staff Sales/Staff Shop
  • Healthcare/Dental
11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rated 7/10

It would be a great start to my career path. The only concern I would have would be the location. Having lived in big city centers, living in Cambridge was quite quiet. I can see myself going back there in later years.

Other Information

12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
★★★★★★★★☆☆

Rated 8/10

At the start of the year there were placement events which was a good opportunity to get to know other placements. By the end of the year I had a great group of friends who I am still in contact with.

13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 4/10

As this was my first time living in the south of England, I did find it a lot more expensive but I did receive a cost of living salary increase.

14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 4/10

With it being a small city, there was not the vast amount of clubs and bars I am used to. By the end of the year I was very bored of the same old places.

15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Rated 6/10

As the year progressed we began organising our own trips, but there was a few football teams, team jollies and the art department organised life drawing classes.
