    The Role

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

    • It has been amazing working for the company. The work I have done over the year has given me so much knowledge and understanding and has helped me make decisions for my career

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

    • I felt valued at the company and my team. I was always recognized for work in my team and the team mates were extremely nice and friendly

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

    • I always had guidance whenever I needed it from my manager and all my colleagues in the team. They had an open door policy and I could go to them anytime and for anything I needed help with

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

    • It varied over the year. Sometimes I had minimum amount of work to do and sometimes enough to fill my week. The good thing was that I could choose how much work I want to take on and I could even take on personal projects in my less busy times.

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

    • I was given a fair amount of responsibility. I was allowed to interact with customers and give them presentations and demo them the technology every now and then

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

    • The skills I developed are going to help me so much for my course! I have learnt so many things that I wouldn't have learned otherwise and have learnt additional advanced things which will make my third year a little easier. It also gives me a competitive edge in the market against my peers who didn't opt-in for a placement since I have additional skills and experience I have gained from this year

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Really positive vibe around the office and all the people here are so nice. It is truly fun to work with everyone here.

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

    • It was well organised and I had support for everything I needed and had all the resources at my hand. The people were very helpful too.

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

    • I believe my colleagues supported me and gave me tasks that would help me develop my skills and would invest a lot of time to help me with side projects (that benefit me more than the company) too.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes. We had a huge committee of interns that would plan social events and charity events, niht outs, pub quizzes etc

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

    • Cheap rent and affordable things to do around. Drinks are cheap on student night-outs too.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It was alright. Since it is a working industrial town and not a uni town there were limited options but the nightlife is defined by the people you are with rather than the town/clubs. The pubs were good here though

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • So many opportunities. We had charity and volunteer events that Intel would support and we could support whatever charity we liked and volunteer as much as we want.
