    5/5

    • Everyone was nice :)

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

    • I had a personal mentor, whom I could always ask everything.

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

    • I had a lot of freedom and there was no pressure on what had to be done at the end of the day. So it was all up to me, how much I made out of it.

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

    • As a young programmer, you are obviously not that skilled to have that much responsibility. But on the other hand, I think it was more important to receive training to get to a higher level.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • As I am not a computer scientist, it offered me the possibility to learn professional software development skills.

    5/5

    The Company

    • ok.

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

    • I did not have the feeling to deliver work, it was rather me learning new skills and they gave me a lot of time to do so.

    • Flexi Time

    Company Parties/Events

    Travel loan

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

    • Good.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • As Reigate is a bit out of London, the prices were not that high, although it was for some people hard to find accommodation (but the company paid either for that or travel expenses)

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There was a BBQ and Pub-visits.

    4/5
