    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed the internship a lot. I was nervous before beginning the internship but soon after starting, I was put at ease.

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

    • I felt very valued and appreciated. My colleagues and managers were very appreciative of the work I did for them even when they were stressed, they made the time to thank me for my help. My colleagues took me out for lunch and on socials and invited me out after work.

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

    • Every task I was given was fully explained and if I had any questions, everyone was happy to help and make sure I understood everything.

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

    • Perfect amount of work. Never bored but never had nothing to do. I worked 9-5.30 every day and only stayed late (until 7pm) twice.

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

    • I made some excel models myself and people came to me with questions about them, so I feel like I had a lot of responsibility. Everything I did was checked though, so the responsibility wasn't too pressurising.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The work wasn't very relevant to my degree, but was relevant to my future career.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Very pleasant. Everyone was friendly and had a laugh while working.

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

    • Very well organised. The buddy system meant that if you had any questions, you could ask them, and the training days in Windsor were very well organised.

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

    • A lot. There were three days of training in a hotel at the start which went through the basics with us before we started in the office. Then, on individual projects, the teams would spend a few hours explaining to you what to do.

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

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

    • Very good. All of the interns in my group were offered graduate jobs.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, we went out about once a week.

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

    • Travel was expensive. Drinks also expensive. Typical London prices.

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

    • Good. Typical London nightlife

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Because the internship was short, we didn't have the opportunity to join sports teams or anything, but we did socialise after work together.
