    The Role

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

    • Very enjoyable internship. Challenging, but fair and important work, excellent networking opportunities and a great learning experience.

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

    • Formal and informal networking opportunities, coupled with a culture of actually having interns to solve problems rather than for the sake of having interns, fostered a great environment for an internship.

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

    • Immediate support from team was excellent, however the support/guidance from management was somewhat sparse due to busy-ness. However with the extensive documents I received when I arrived, and the support from my team, this wasn't particularly necessary.

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

    • Workload varied quite a lot - there were days I had to stay quite late. However this was far from the norm, and most days I spent busy, but not overwhelmed.

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

    • What I was doing wasn't essential, but useful. It included a lot of stuff which people would have liked to have done if they had the time. I was generally the main person responsible for the projects I took on.

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

    • Single most useful thing I've done so far in my work/educational career.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Work focused, but friendly. There was plenty of time to socialize over lunch or coffee, and people were friendly. Design of the office was very pleasant.

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

    • Only wish it were longer!

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

    • Lots of time and training, lots of feedback, and a far above average intern salary made it clear that we were an important investment.

    • Just waiting for an offer!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Company events and group projects fostered a great social scene.

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

    • Cheaper than many other places, but not the cheapest place I've lived/worked. You can very comfortably live on the intern salary

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Had some great nights out.

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