    The Role

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

    • Good internship, great colleagues and work that was very relevant to my course.

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

    • Very valued - they were happy with the work I was doing and I was treated like one of the team. They also helped me out with any problems I had.

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

    • Loads. I was helped out as much as I needed throughout the year and I did not feel guilty asking for help the whole time!

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

    • Average. At times the tasks were quite menial and they only took a while because I was so bored.

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

    • Not a huge amount - I was mainly just given tasks to do for one manager.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Part of my course is economics and I am interested in accounting so this was very useful. However the job was very specific, and I feel the skills I learnt may not be that useful in the wider workplace.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Good. There was quite a lot of banter between my colleagues and I always had a laugh with the other interns. Everyone knew when to separate work from fun.

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

    • Very organised and I was given weekly tasks and review points.

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

    • A fair amount. I was given all the right tools I needed to do by job but not much else.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The chances of getting on the grad scheme are pretty high, I feel they were pretty impressed with my performance.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yeah really good we went out as a group most weeks and always had lunch together.

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

    • Pretty high being in London and I had a huge overdraft to pay off so couldn't spend a massive amount.

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

    • Awesome. So many bars but price was usually an issue!

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

    • Not really anything except the few nights out we had as a team.
