    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed my placement at Atos. As an overall the experience was a good one.

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

    • I felt valued by the some of the teams I worked in. In others it felt like those that were already there were a bit too chummy and not really accepting of outsiders / new people.

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

    • The support from direct supervisor (person looking after the interns + new grads) was good, and I got on well with them. The support and interaction from my actually manager was little to non existent due to no effort of communication from either party.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • For the first 5-6 Months it was great, I felt like I had something interesting to do every day. That started slipping and eventually there was no real work that I could do. I ended up setting my own tasks and goals (which were usually self learning).

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a decent amount of responsibility for myself as to how to prioritise the tasks I had.

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

    • The practice of programming was probably the biggest and best take away from the experience.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The location I was at had an older age demographic and was quite a serious place.

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

    • Relatively poor.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Had one training "event" which lasted a few days with all the other interns around the country and the mandatory health and safety type stuff. A lot of on the job learning and being able to talk to more experienced people was useful
