    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Overall everything went well. The company and the assignments were quite much what I expected them to be. Team members were nice, Some things could have done in a more clear/rational way.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Most colleagues were helpful and friendly and really showed me that I am appreciated. Some people were a bit less approachable and sometimes even grumpy if you "bothered" them, like they didn't have time for me.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I had two managers during my internship. My first manager didn't really manage me at all, so I mostly got help/feedback from an other more approachable senior member of the team. My second manager was great, he had a great sense of humour and we got along very well.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • It depended on a day, but overall I had quite OK amount of work. There were a few days I didn't have enough work.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I would say that the assignments required that much responsibility. I also believe that there are no responsible tasks during first months or so, so expectations were fulfilled.

    3/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • My education is highly theoretical so I am not sure if this experience will assist me in studies (future working life is a different thing)

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Could have been better, I think people were quite concentrated on their work, I would have appreciated if people would have approached me more, not me being always the one who approaches to them. Though, every time I did approach someone on non-work thing people were nice.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • At the beginning everything seemed organised. Then, before joining the company I was required to send dozens of documents, some of them multiple times to different and same places, via online portal, email, post... So that could have been handled better. I also would have loved to receive an email which would have stated clearly EVERYTHING I need to do prior the internship/during first weeks (NI number, bank account things, renting an apartment etc. etc.), now I feel that I had information on so many sources it was hard to keep up.

    3/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Some of the trainings were good an actually educational/helpful. Other training sessions were not that important and could have skipped.

    4/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events

    Healthcare/Dental

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I would be very surprised in case I didn't get a job here.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Yes, the interns were awesome and I enjoyed spend time with them. I liked how we were allowed to get to know each other before the actual employment, it helped a lot as we all were sitting in different floors/boxes.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Rent including expenses £ 375 per week, socialising depends on where you go but London prices thus expensive

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • This is London City.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • We organised ourselves among interns. Organized by the company, few.
