    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really enjoyed my time at TMVS. From day 1 I was working with a team who were really friendly and helpful. I felt comfortable in the office right away, and was great as I was able to form good relationships with my team members. It was tough at times, but the challenges just made my time much more rewarding.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Getting started was tough at times but my colleagues were patient and walked me through all of the steps. Even though I have no experience in research, I was given work to do and a lot of responsibility, which made me feel like a valued member of the team.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My supervisor were incredibly patient when helping me pick up new skills, and were always on hand if things went wrong

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I would say that I was never too overwhelmed with the work, rather the work was mostly busy and that I had enough time to fully give the best possible dispensing experience.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was in research of certain section of the development I was working on, which was fantastic. It really made me want to do my best and produce a piece of work I was proud of.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I believe that for a career in research , what I've learnt will be extremely helpful. I now know exactly what will be expected of me if I am to join research, and the type of work that I'll be doing. I've also developed my conversation and teamwork skills, which will help me outside of my career as well.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • everyone was really friendly and lovely to talk to, but of course everyone had work to do! There was a great balance of work and leisure that I loved coming into and working in.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Overall it was almost perfectly organised, however I found sometimes I didn't know where I was supposed to be on a certain day. It was easily resolved though - I just went to the office where a supervisor was able to help me.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I had to complete many training modules to develop my skills, but on the personal front not much. I guess as a full time worker this would be different.

    4/5

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

    Company Parties/Events

    Working from home

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I feel that they're really good - I've got good feedback so far. Everyone has been really honest and gave me development points which I've tried to work on, and my supervisor has been really helpful as well.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Colleagues took part in numerous events. when I arrived on the first day I was invited to attend the summer party.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • There was not much going on where I was placed, but in the area there was a good.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Edinburgh has some fantastic bars and clubs, many of which I was introduced to during my time here.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • I didn't have a lot of time to get involved, and I only knew of the TMVS . There weren't any other activities I was aware of during my time in Edinburgh.
