    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed my time working in the digital communications department at Renault UK for my placement. There was a large group of interns and the workplace environment was fast paced and energetic. I felt that I was part of a community and thoroughly enjoyed the work I did day to day.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was given real responsibilities and felt a part of the team. The fact that people rely on you to do certain jobs makes you feel integral to the department. I was able to work with the different product teams in order to ensure that the content digital communications was producing was true to the product.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My manager gave me all the support I needed and was always there to give guidance. I also had a lot of help and guidance from the other members of my team and I feel that this was crucial to the work I was able to do during my time on placement. There was always someone to give advice or lend a helping hand due to the department being so friendly.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • There was never a dull moment and always a job that needed to be done. I had weekly tasks and day to day routines, but the workload was always changing and I often had multiple projects on the go at any one time. I had to liaise with agencies as well as different departments; there was always an email to send or a report to write!

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a large amount of responsibility during my time on placement, I feel it has really prepared for a a career in digital communications. I was treated as a true employee of Renault; and never once felt like a placement student that was not allowed to do certain jobs or tasks.

    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 during my time at Renault will definitely help me in the third year of my degree. I have gained confidence and my time management and organisational skills have grown hugely in the past 13 months. I hope that the knowledge and skills I now have of digital communications will help me in my future job.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The atmosphere in my department was very professional but at the same time fun! In the office, everyone is friendly and most people will meet you with a smile. As the office is open plan and only a few people have offices you always feel like you can walk over to someones desk to ask them something.

    3/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I feel that the work placement scheme was set up well and since it has been going for a few years, it is in a good routine. Having a role as a work placement student felt like a true job; I sometimes forgot that I was a work placement student on a temporary contract.

    3/5

    2/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Very appealing! There is an opportunity to apply to come back in the future on the graduate scheme, which gives you a chance to work in different departments over the company and gain a rounded experience of working at Renault.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Yes, my department was very sociable. I would say that the location of head office (rickmansworth is not at all sociable;but as it is so close to London, that it is where my department goes out.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Cost of living was ridiculously high as it was close to London and is a nice area to live. More than half of my salary went on rent and bills. Was not able to socalise in my area as not much to do; better to go into central London.

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Not applicable - no night life in Rickmansworth.

    1/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Not applicable
