    The Role

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

    • The whole experience was really enjoyable, both in and outside of work.

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

    • I was made to feel welcome from the very first day, everyone was willing to help and so easy to get on with.

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

    • Everyone was happy to give up their precious time to help if I was stuck with something, or had a question to ask.

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

    • Some days were a little quiet, which is understandable as the job involves a lot of responsibility and I was completely new to it. However, we were given access to online training which was useful in passing the time.

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

    • We were given jobs that a normal graduate trainee would have to do, and had to interact with clients as a normal employee would.

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

    • Teamwork and communication skills were invaluable.

    5/5

    • Our laptops were ready for us on our first day, and we knew well in advance where we would be working each week.

    5/5

    • I got offered a job.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • We all got along really well, and attended the majority of social events.

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

    • I lived at home so that does not apply. Socialising is pretty similar to most cities.

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

    • Leicester itself isn't great, although the office tends to mix with the Nottingham office, which is a much better night out!

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

    • Some activities included inter-office cricket, 5-a-side football, rounders.
