    The Role

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

    • It was a really enjoyable experience, everyone was friendly and supportive. I was given interesting work, and having had no previous experience of the industry, it was a great way to learn about property.

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

    • The buddy system was useful in helping us to meet other people in the office, and everyone is genuinely friendly. I was treated as a full member of the team and was always included in things, and was never made to feel like the 'intern'.

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

    • I was given help from lots of people for the intern presentation at the end of the internship - it was actually really surprising just how many people were willing to offer their time without being asked. I was also given a lot of advice about options for after graduation.

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

    • I was usually very busy, however in general I didn't have to stay late.

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

    • I tended to do lots of smaller jobs that helped with the work my team or the other graduates were already doing. So while I didn't get overall responsibility for any one thing, I did feel that I was trusted to help with the overall work the team was producing.

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

    • Although the internship was not directly related to my degree, I think I learnt a lot about working in the industry. I had a lot of face to face interaction with clients and I think this will be useful for any career.

    4/5

    The Company

    4/5

    • We had events organised for us and were given a timetable at the start with key dates on it.

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

    • We were given training sessions as a group, focussing on developing our personal business skills.

    4/5

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

    • It was a great place to work and I'd be really happy to work there in the future.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were a fair amount of after work drinks - it was what you made of it really.

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

    • Expensive but usual for London.

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

    • No idea

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Some sports activities but not really much else for interns, although it seems like there is a lot if you have a full time job.
