    The Role

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

    • The team that I worked with made it a very friendly and understanding experience on the most part. As with most companies, there are exceptions

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

    • Two types of extremes, some senior managers valued me highly as they understood the skills I had, others preferred to nit-pick at what felt like anything

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

    • Any help needed was provided

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

    • Either very busy with work coming in from all over the place or on a couple of days nothing at all. It was varied

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a number of very good opportunities by one of the senior managers, elsewhere in the business it was pretty standard

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

    • Nothing related at all. Job not at all technical

    1/5

    The Company

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

    • Friendly, lovely people on the most part. Always socialising to the point that we organised drinks after work a fair few times

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

    • Very, if not too well. Felt like we were unnecessarily being checked up on a lot of the time

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • First few days were general training days,. other than that a lot of it was learning on the job. On the most part very good

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

    • Company Parties/Events
    1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Not very as it just wasn't a very technical job, I'd feel a little expendable

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, some organised by EY too

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Relatively expensive as it's Manchester centre. Travelling into work was very pricey

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

    • Very good, it's Manchester!

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

    • A few, not very well advertised though so not many people got involved

    2/5
