    The Role

    • It was great at the start, but towards the end I stopped learning things and just personally didn't have anything to do.

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

    • Very well by some, not at all by others

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Really good fun atmosphere in the office. It was really laid back and enjoyable, but towards the end there was a lot of people leaving and the atmosphere really died down and became a bit dull.

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

    • The initial training could have been done better. There was nothing overly HPE specific as we were kind of shown the ropes by last years interns. Some official documents outlining the development process would have been helpful.

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

    • I think I was allowed a lot of freedom for personal development and was given tasks that really did allow me to learn and develop skills.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Above 25 days holiday

    Working from home

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

    • Not too sure, some people are joining now as I am about to leave but there was also a few redundancies recently in the office. I haven't had a conversation with anyone about it.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes we had great fun in the office and also spent time together outside of the office doing social activities.

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

    • I would say average for Belfast.

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

    • Great nightlife in Belfast city center, something for everyone.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes
