    The Role

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

    • Honestly the team you get is a HUGE factor in how well the internship goes. My team manager was always away and he was always 'busy'. Not much help tbh.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Colleagues were very friendly but again had their own stuff to do.

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

    • Not much support tbh. When i had questions i was directed to look online which is fair but some of the stuff that i was stuck with was company specific stuff.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Meh could slack off on some days. Not too stressful.

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

    • Was given a large project which wasn't scoped right. Could say i was given too much responsibility for an intern since the project wasn't feasible.

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

    • Did develop some of my skills without a doubt

    4/5

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

    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Team dependant to be honest. If you get a good modern cutting-edge team you are in luck. Some teams still do legacy work. NOT GOOD.

    4/5

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

    • Yes a facebook group with all the interns. Every weekend there was something going on.
