    The Role

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

    • I have really enjoyed the internship a lot. It has been really good to make a really good group of friends from the interns - this is been made possible by the structure of the scheme.

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

    • Whilst I feel really valued by my colleagues, I would say it would have been better to get some more feedback and support from my team

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

    • My senior mentor was amazing at supporting me throughout the 8 weeks. HR also were really supportive and were always saying they were there if we needed support.

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

    • It varied, some days were extremely busy, others were quitter. I would have liked at times to have been set more work that was more challenging. This increased over the 8 weeks as deadlines became more imminent.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Fairly a lot as we had the project which was entirely up to us. I like to be challenged and at times I felt that I was being under challenged within my team. The group project was a perfect balance to give us more responsibility, however I would have liked more responsibility within my team to highlight my skills.
