    The Role

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

    • I thoroughly enjoyed my placement, everyone was extremely friendly and the work was good. However, after 2-3 months it did start to get slightly repetitive.

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

    • I felt valued by my colleagues as they trusted me to do the work independently and when I had new ideas most of the time I was allowed to use them.

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

    • I was given support by my team leader when I first started, however half way through my placement the team leader changed to someone who was no where near as supportive.

    2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Quiet, with too many people for the decreasing workload

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given plenty of responsibility, sending emails to members on my first day. You were chucked in at the deep end. However, after going to my manager to discuss a increase in my workload I was also given another marketing channel to work on, I was given full responsibility and freedom with this.

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

    • The skills I have developed have been really useful and I am sure they will assist me beyond my studies, however due to this solely being a email marketing placement I am unsure as to whether the skills will help me in my final year.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • The general atmosphere in the office was great, there are a number of placements in each team meaning it is quite a young office.

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

    • The placement was extremely well organised.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The company allowed me to complete uni work in work time meaning that I managed to get all my uni work done early and to a high standard, this was useful.

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

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

    • Future employment prospects are appealing however I am unsure as to how long term they would be

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was an OK social scene, many placements lived at home and traveled in meaning that there were only a few placements who were willing to socialise out of work hours.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The cost of living is relatively high, with a one bedroom flat costing over half of my monthly wages. The cost of socialising is no different to any other town.

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

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

    • There were not
