I enjoyed the work at GE Aviation Cheltenham. My finance role was varied and I had the opportunity to shadow people in different areas of finance. I was given a really good view of the whole finance department and not just the areas I worked in. Some aspe...
The internship is extremely well focused on providing the best development possible for all the interns. The work is varied and exciting and interns are given a huge amount of responsibility for their work and development. Almost every work day would seem...
The work was challenging and varied, and allowed me to get involved in many different areas of the business, working locally and globally. The level of respect and autonomy was refreshing, and it really felt like the work I was putting in was appreciated ...
I highly enjoyed my work placement. The work given to me was interesting and engaging but could be stressful at times as it held real weight and value for the company. However, I was supported throughout and there was a really good atmosphere among collea...
The placement is hard work but rewarding, it provides loots of learning opportunities and gave a unique insight into repair engineering in a aviation setting.
Good level of responsibility, although would have preferred to work on projects that had greater impact on business performance. The quality of your mentor makes or breaks the experience from this perspective.
There was lots to enjoy; and lots to endure. The placement gave a very good opportunity to tailor your position, so you could get out of the experience what you wanted too; but this isn't made clear from the start. On top of this each role has its fairly ...
Great placement! GE Aviation Wales offers plenty of hands-on experience with strip, repair, assembly and test of jet engine. Students can develop an in-depth understanding of component failure modes, stress modes and hardware system interaction. Moreover,...
My internship started of rocky, but I then got used to the jobs and responsibilities that I had and I then started to tailor it around what I wanted to do. This made it a lot more enjoyable. The fact we had 45 interns on site made it a good social scene t...
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at GE, with a large amount of challenging situations and real world project experience obtained. Moreover I was also able to gain a vast range of connections for the future, which will give me a good starting point when wantin...
In terms of a placement year, you can't get much better than a company as large as GE. There was a lot of support that was provided whilst I adapted to working full time, and I got an overview of the company rather than being limited to my specific role.
I enjoyed my work placement thoroughly. I gained a large amount of skills and experience from the placement, including use of Microsoft Office and other computer software to make work quicker and easier. The job also gave an insight on the processes the a...
Due to a slow start to my internship, lackluster environment and infrequent meetings with my line manager, I can confidently say that I haven't enjoyed this internship as much as I intended to. It has been rewarding, however, ensuring skills and personal ...
The internship was enjoyable, I learnt a lot within my time at GE Aviation, considering I'd come from a business background.
I really enjoyed my internship as you were exposed to real life work experience and I wasn't just given boring "Intern" tasks. I was able to make a large change within the business and this is something that they are going to use for the foreseeable futur...
I worked with an amazing team in Environmental, health and safety in GE. I enjoyed the tasks they gave me, especially the variety of them!
A very engaging and interesting work environment. I would recommend the placement to anyone as it helped me develop a lot of new skills and taught me what it means to be a part of a large team.
I got challenged and I actually feel that my time here makes a difference to the business. Even though I'm an intern I feel equally important as my colleagues.
I have enjoyed my placement greatly as i have been given a large responsibility which i did not expect. Would have been higher but the first couple of months were very slow due to not having access to anything. I have enjoyed working on an intern project ...
I really enjoyed my internship and the variety of tasks which I was able to do throughout the year as no day was the same. There was not a point at which I did not enjoy my job, even when I was doing tasks that were not my preferred ones.
