    The Role

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

    • Have really enjoyed this year, been given lots of interesting work and the ability to work on projects that I'm interested in - definitely do not feel like an intern! Really friendly and engaging atmosphere and lots of perks (summer hours, products, free hair cuts and colours at the Academy) etc.

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

    • Completely felt like part of the team and that I fitted in, honestly did not feel like an intern at all and people have said that they thought I worked there full time! Everyone is very respectful and takes your ideas seriously, so I would definitely say I felt valued.

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

    • My manager was amazing and really supporting however I think this totally depends on what manager you get, I was quite lucky in this respect
