    The Role

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

    • Hard working, fast paced environment but if you thrive on it, you will get a lot back from the job.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Excellent, warm & welcoming team. All departments easy to get on with.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Good one-to-one help, however the smallish nature of the company means staffing can be stretched at times. Overall though, provided the essentials to train and improve.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Realistic expectations of an undergraduate, putting in extra hours does get appreciated where it is required.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Enough to be forced to learn but not too much that it can put you out of your depth.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Feel much more confident about going into the real working world. More of a proper job than a placement, which is definitely good for career prospects.

    5/5

    4/5

    The Culture

    • Few other students but not much chance to work together.

    3/5
