    The Role

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

    • Overall it was a fantastic year with some really good times but also some not so good. this was purely down to the relationship held with your line manager, I worked on different teams and had an all together different experience on each. The office vibe is really great, everyone is very social and loves to go out together.

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

    • I felt hugely valued throughout the year and was never made to feel that my opinion didn't matter. Although you have an intern title you are never made to feel that way.

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

    • Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances there was no guidance at all with little help as there was no manager present however when on a new team this greatly improved. again this depends on the relationship with your manager and some work much better that others.

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

    • Work flow varies depending on projects and what is going on at the time but the work flow always seemed manageable and there were always people on hand to help.

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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility on placement and felt like an integral part of the team at all times and was never made to feel like my opinion wasn't as good as anyone elses

    • As there was no manager present in the beginning months the start felt very organised and i regularly had to give myself tasks to complete due to lack of 121 meetings however being thrown in at the deep end made me learn a lot faster
