    The Role

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

    • I've really enjoyed my plcement, and will be really sad to go back to university.

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

    • My team really made me feel welcome. From day one I wasn't an intern, I was a fully-fledged member of the team and I'm leaving having become good friends with them.

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

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

    • Everyday was different, but I really enjoyed each day as it bought new challenges and new opportunities.

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

    • The rule was, if you want more responsibility, then ask for it. So I did. Soon I was running press events and managing samples all by myself.

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

    • 4/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere was corporate, but my team are great and there are some great conversations to be had with other teams!

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

    • The placement has been running for ages, so the process was pretty faultless. Everything was set up for me when I started, and anything else I needed I could just ask for :)

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

    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I'd love to come back and work with Panasonic, but due to the team layout I don't think this is possible unless someone leaves, which is a real shame!

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I lived with the other students on the placement scheme, so every night was socialising! It made the move a lot less scary and we've done loads of cool things together as a group!

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

    • Moving to the south was a change, and it was quite expensive! But living was pretty cheap!

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Living near Reading means there's lots of opportunites for night life, but the clubs aren't that great!

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • 4/5
