    The Role

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

    • Variable by desk - perhaps mini rotations should occur during training week to try to match up desks better

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

    • Again variable, some desks were super-accomodating but some were more reserved

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

    • I think that at times they are looking for initiative and some people therefore seem stubbornly unwilling to offer feedback as a "test". In general however people were willing to explain

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

    • On very rare days had little to do but some too much, obviously that is what work is like but if you want to spread it out make PB optional, do more things in 2nd rotation

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

    • Where possible, responsibility was given

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

    • Teach you what you need to know to do the job which is different when coming from an academic background at this stage in life

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Again variable by desk so it comes down to fit

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Clearly well organised but perhaps process needs to be explained to more senior management or desk reps so they are aware what is going on

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Clearly spent a lot on training etc

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

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

    • Hopefully will get a job but competitive

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Got on well with people in and out of office

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Expensive - understandably

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

    • Expensive or student

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Organised events, dinners, dragon boat, funrun etc

    4/5
