    The Role

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

    • At the beginning it was daunting but a few months in it became very enjoyable and the people I worked with helped make it even more so

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Everyone was very friendly and happy to take you under their wing and look after you, they never treated me like an intern, I was part of the team from the word go

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

    • Anything I needed or asked for they did their best to help with and supported me in all my decisions

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

    • Some days I felt bored, but once I had spoken to my manager and got more responsibility this balanced out

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • You are given as much responsibility as you ask for, whether that's a little or a lot. If you want a lot you are given it and trusted with it

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

    • Everything (skills and training) will benefit me in life and jobs to come

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Perfect balance between good conversation and time to work

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Felt a little shaky at the beginning but I believe these kinks were sorted out for years to come

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

    • They run trainings throughout the year and you can participate in whichever ones you want and managers will back you through that - If there is a training you want that they don't offer they will endeavour to set it up

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I will come out of the experience fully wanting to return and feeling that this is a genuine opportunity

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Very well organised social events, between fellow interns and own team members

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

    • Like anywhere really some good deals around and cheap nights out, would say average

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It could be good if you got the night and the venue right - but have experienced better places

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Sports and social club put on a wide range of activities outside of work and many things to do away from work too

    4/5
