    The Role

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

    • It's been really good. My project has been super challenging but fun and everyone's been very supportive. Plus the campus is nice, there's always free stuff going on so you get random samples all the time.

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

    • Highly valued. My team is really friendly and interested in my work which reflects that it's really making a difference and matters which is cool.

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

    • My manager has been really good, very supportive. Plus I've had regular meetings with the different team heads for them to learn more and offer guidance.

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

    • Very busy. Still able to have a couple of days when I've been tired to chill at work more but generally had a lot to do and the motivation to do it.

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

    • A lot, it's a lot of setting your own guidelines and making your own plans with the support of your manager.

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

    • It's very helpful. I never learned to code before but I had a few weeks set training when I started which has been really useful data analytics that I never thought I'd get paid to learn.

    5/5

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

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

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very appealing, you meet a lot of other employees so get to know what their jobs are and how they work and how well you could do it.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Not wild, it's difficult as the office is out of London so a lot of socials were split between Welwyn-Garden-City and London.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Living is relatively expensive in Welwyn but socialising isnt much. Most socials invovle the pub which has pretty standard pricing.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Non existant, but socials ended in London so if you wanted to go clubbing you could just hop on the train.

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

    • Nothing too crazy but when the team was doing something you were always invited along.
