    The Role

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

    • The placement year was really engaging. I always had lots to do but was never really overwhelmed. I was always supported on projects I was working on.

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

    • Groupe Renault is full of wonderful friendly people. My line manager especially has turned into a real friend that I will no doubt keep in the future.

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

    • I was always supported by my line manager on projects when I asked for it. There is an expectation to eventually become autonomous.

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

    • Very busy! But was always supported and could always ask what takes priority when required.

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

    • There is obviously a limit to decisions that can be made by you as a placement student. A lot of really big decisions obviously are made by senior management. But my work was often the biggest source of information for my senior manager to make decisions upon.

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

    • Microsoft Excel skill level before placement = 20/100 Microsoft Excel skill level at end of placement = 100/100 Communication and team working skills have also improved greatly.

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

    The Culture

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

    • Could have been a little better this year, but by all accounts in previous years it has been great. I lived with a few other placement students and we've become great friends.

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

    • It is London so not completely cheap... But easy tube travel into central is a massive plus!

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

    • London is an easy transport link away

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