    The Role

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

    • The placement was enjoyable as it allowed me to network (somewhat) and travel some while being part of a team that was in the begging very active. This however declined thought the year as management changes took place the the opportunities to learn were exhausted.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • There was a sense of value at times but ultimately the opportunities to work together as a team were limited extremely limited and so were the networking opportunities.

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I was given some guidance but support was minimal. More often than not I was left to fend for myself with little interest in developing me as a professional in the company.

    1/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • The work was mundane and my team did not effectively utilise me.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • At times more, in others less. overall not much at all in anything that mattered.

    1/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Whether positive or negative it has been an opportunity to learn tremendously.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Dead and anonymous. No one cares about anyone.

    1/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Little support from HR that mattered in any quantifiable way and my team nether really included me nor allowed me to then plan myself or planned on my behalf.

    1/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I received no training or development beyond that which I could gather from being on calls where other people are managing projects.

    1/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    National Travel

    International Travel

    Working from home
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Its been worth for having HPE on my CV but I would not want work here again. Employees are cuffed by politics and the management is crippled by fear of the shareholders.

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was some but none that was productive.

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Perhaps not as pricy as central London but in no means cheap.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The area is a dump of unemployment.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Some, not many.
