    4/5

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

    • As much as I could possibly be given. I talked to clients about my work and was given an essential project for senior management to complete.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Collaborative and not too stressed.

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

    • More or less. The business organised their part very well, but the set-up of my desktop took 4 days and I was sent the wrong information on my rotations beforehand. Room for improvement there from HR side.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Business members and senior management all spent a good amount of their time with me to teach me about their products as well as necessary skills. The intern events are probably expensive as well and the three training days in the beginning helpful, but as my main takeaways were networking skills there wasn't much investment necessary for those.

    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?

    • I came to appreciate the organisation greatly and hope it continues its change towards more innovation. I seriously consider working for the organisation in the future, even if I decided to not take my offer at the moment due to personal motivations.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, not much in my division but among other interns there were lots of free time activities. I enjoyed spending free time with other colleagues more than with fellow interns.

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

    • The area (Spitalfields) is fantastic to live in and cheap for London in a few places. Still, there was only limited time for this.

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

    • No experience.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • The few activities outside of work were mostly with my colleagues. I was lucky they invited me to football, dinners, karting and foosball.
