    The Role

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

    • This one is my fault, I discovered that I really don't have any passion for c# based desktop software.

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

    • Everyone in the team was great and really valued each other's opinion, especially our tech-lead.

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

    • My manager taught me a lot about unit tests and good practices, he really took the time to make sure that I understand.

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

    • The balance is quite good and 10% time is a big plus.

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

    • I was writing production code alongside the team, so I got pretty much the same responsibility as the other team members.

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

    • Many of the things I learnt about unit testing are quite useful. But I don't think I would do much c# in the future so that's less useful.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Very good atmosphere, people are always nice and respectful to each other and are very willing to go out of their way to help you.

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

    • Since I did the same work as the team, I'd say that it's pretty well setup because I almost never reach a point of having nothing to do.

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

    • My manager took a lot of his time to teach me things, they had 10% time, and they also invited external experts to give us lectures.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    National Travel

    Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events

    Above 25 days holiday
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I personally wouldn't want to work there anymore because I don't find the job very interesting. But for someone who likes c# desktop software, it would probably be the best job in the world. So I'll give a six overall.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

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

    • 3/5

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