    The Role

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

    • Enjoyed that majority of the job. Felt alot was asked of me though.

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

    • Slighty resented being 'just a student' at times. As they know you are young and only there for a year I felt some are reluctant to form real relationships.

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

    • My line manager was very supportive.

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

    • Very busy.

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

    • Was left on my own in the office several times. Was given high responsibilities such as booking flights with company money and re-organising our filing system.

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

    • More than anything it is the structure and routine which will help me now. I'm used to working full days now and will hopefully be able to apply that to uni life.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Gererally happy. Morale quite low towards the end of my year.

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

    • They have about 35 students and have been doing placements for years so they are well experienced in setting up placements.

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

    • To an extent, however, as they know you will be leaving in a year I felt they didn't invest/train as much as they would have if I were permanent.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Financial Bonus

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I haven't officially been offered a job but they have asked me to call them when I graduate.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Very good. Large number of students meant a whole different student culture.

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

    • About average for south england.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Awful!

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

    • Nothing much offered from work. Difficult to get into anything else.
