I really enjoyed working with Network Rail because the company is so big so you can find out a lot during your internship. There are regular trips out of the office for away days and site visits, so it helps to give you an idea of the scale of the work th...
I enjoyed my work placement very much. The atmosphere of the office was very welcoming and friendly, as well as being engaged in the work I was given. People were always happy for me to ask questions about the company or to help me in my project. easy acc...
Very happy overall with the opportunities provided, regarding my technical project work and career development. I’ve enjoyed various experiences and trips, such as STEM involvement, trips to depots, BTP, Scunthorpe Steel Factory, Eastleigh Electrical Cont...
I was given many opportunities to expand my knowledge and experiences in all aspects of the railway. Much of the work I was given was in interesting projects that intrigued me but the work was sometimes quite dull and not challenging enough.
I enjoyed it to a great extent. I feel that I have really gained a lot from the internship during my time at Network Rail and have seen a real boost to my personal and professional development.
Very nuturing enviroment. You dont have to be the smartest person, just the most enthusiastic and willing to learn to be good at this job. Everything is taught while being on the job and you grow within the team. Theres many oppotunities to venture to oth...
I have been enjoying my work placement at Network Rail quite a bit at times since the staff I have had exposure with have been nothing but pleasant for the most part and have light hearted humour. My manager and I also have a good work relationship wi...
Good balance of on-site work and work in office, I enjoyed the aspect of learning on the job. When I first joined the company everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The placement always ranged with different activities and a range of courses were avail...
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement year. The placement year enabled me to take what I had learned in my first two years at university and put into practice in an enterprise. Every day during my placement I was learning new skills and improving on my curren...
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement year at network rail. More than I thought I would!
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement and working at Network Rail. I've enjoyed it enough to return as a graduate!
I very much enjoyed my time at Network Rail. Even as a student, I was entrusted with many responsibilities and I was able to take a lot of good experiences and learning from these responsibilities which is what every placement student hopes for.
The placement proved useful as an insight into what it is like working for a large corporation, however due to the size of Network Rail, my opportunity to participate in a wide variety of projects was rather limited. Network Rail as the 'client managers' ...
I was given the opportunity to get involved with multimillion pound projects from day 1, to truly make a difference. Every team I worked with treated me as one of them, and I never felt like just a student.
Overall I have enjoyed my placement at Network Rail. There is a great balance between challenges within my role as well as many opportunities outside my role to get involved in. At times, like any jobs, there are peaks and troughs with the work, but there...
On the whole it was a beneficial experience. I hadn't worked full time before I took this role and I learned what it's like to work with a large diverse team on a daily basis. I learned that the business has a wide range of functions which all impact each...
At the beginning of my placement, I absolutely hated it as I felt it hard to fit into the office lifestyle. What didn't help was the lack of face to face interaction with my host manager. It took 5 months to get my first face to face with him but as soon ...
I have thoroughly enjoyed my placement year, not only have I been involved in challenging projects across the organisation, but been given the opportunity to explore areas outside of my day job such as visiting our fleets to gain further knowledge of the ...
Bloody boring and learnt nothing apart from how to work like a robot. EVERYDAY routines: copy and paste ballest data to an excel file from each depots then send out to different stakeholders, identify the ballest delivery patterns and manage the ballest o...
The internship was enjoyable and gave a good insight into what working in finance is like. I had two 5 week placements in two different finance teams. Also site visits were organised so we could see more of what the business does and we had talks with oth...
