    • Had a great time the whole year!

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

    • Although I was the youngest person in the office, everyone was very inclusive and friendly. I got on with everyone really well and felt like a valuable member of the team.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Support from my manager was top class, always available for a chat and made sure I was comfortable and had no concerns.

    5/5

    • Some days I was very busy, others I had a bit of spare time.

    4/5

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

    • Training provided was quite basic, but still insightful. My confidence has grown a lot and that's what I will take away most.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • In an small office, and a small team the atmosphere was sometimes superficial as you had people who wouldn't normally interact with each other being forced to. At the same time everyone seemed friendly but the atmosphere could be quite tense at times.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The scheme was set up well, my year was hampered as we had 3 different HR leaders during the year, so it was quite difficult to communicate with them as they hadn't really got to know us.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • We had about 4-5 different training courses.

    4/5

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was only 2 placement students on our site, but we got on well and socialised.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • We lived in quite an expensive area, but it wasn't so bad after payday!

    3/5

    • Good nightlife.

    5/5
