    The Role

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

    • Very enjoyable time, a relaxed and friendly environment

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

    • Colleagues couldn't have made me feel more welcome

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

    • Everyone was always really happy to help - when I first began there wasn't a specific plan for me, but I found places to be helpful pretty quickly

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

    • Mostly a very sensible amount - very occasionally find myself with nothing to do, or too much going on, but that's just the nature of work I think

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

    • Perfect amount - lots of work I completed independently, but always reviewed (in the same way as everyone on the team had their work reviewed) so never felt intimidating

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

    • Very useful skill development!

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Brilliant team atmosphere

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

    • A lot of the training sessions for interns were pretty irrelevant to my area- maybe some tech specific training would have been useful near the beginning. Good to get an overall view of the company though! Just would have benefitted from a couple of early training sessions

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Everyone was keen to give me as much experience as possible, and point me to places I could find out more

    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?

    • If I end up working in this business area, I would definitely choose this company over any other

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • All the other interns were lovely, and perfect amount of organised social events

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

    • I'm not from London, so London prices are always going to be shocking to me - so I can't really comment

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

    • I didn't really go out, but if I had I'm sure it would have been great

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

    • Not particularly - I could have looked into more if I'd wanted to though

    2/5
