    The Role

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

    • All in all it was a great experience, I learned a lot about professional work and myself, it wasn't hard to find the motivation to go to work every day.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt that I actually was doing something useful and helpful and that my work had purpose.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I was given support whenever I had a question or something was unclear, I never had the feeling of asking a stupid or unnecessary question (although maybe in some cases it was), so I would never hesitate to ask or request support.

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

    • it's hard to tell, because there were really busy days with no spare time at all and other days were really quiet, but on the average the workload was pleasant, rarely too much.

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

    • I felt that I was trusted with a reasonable amount of responsibility, sometimes it could have been a bit more even. I would have wished for more individual projects, but I'm aware that this is a matter of occasion, so it was alright all in all.

    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 think for degree studies it's helpful to have some practical experience which you can relate to your theoretical work, and the other way round apply theory to practice, so it's easier to make up, what's relevant and what not. Experience is always good.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Casual, relaxed

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

    • Organisation of the internship is up to the individual mentor and/or the team that one works with, because they are the ones who hand over task in most of the cases, and after it's up to oneself to organise the tasks, which I prefer, because I know best how much time I need for certain tasks.

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

    • Training was carried out on the go, whenever there was the opportunity or rather the need to acquire something new; interns were paid minimum wage though, so that's some kind of investment in that sense.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Working from home
    2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • 3/5

    The Culture

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

    • yes, especially after work or on weekends, going out for dinner, beers, movies, etc.

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

    • Basically everything from living to socialising is super expensive.

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

    • To me personally, nightlife is more relevant to the area where I live, not where I work. Also the network of public transportation is very good, so basically that question is not relevant to me.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • If you have the money there are endless opportunities.
