    The Role

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

    • Very much. It is a good opportunity to understand what working in a big company means.

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

    • My colleagues are always helpful when I have struggles to understand some topics.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager is always there if I need help to understand something. We discuss together the steps to solve problems.

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

    • It really depends on the type of job that I'm doing. If I have a deadline, of course I'm busier.

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

    • Not having a lot of experience, I think that the level of responsibility that was given to me is right, i.e. I can work on my own but I can always refer to my manager if something is not clear.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I improved both technical and soft skills. I can manage better the pressure of deadlines, and I improved my team working skills.

    4/5

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

    • Higher than I expected.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It really depends on the city where you live. I live in Crawley, and it is not a nice place to live. I would suggest to live in Brighton.

    • Not that much
