    The Role

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

    • The internship as a whole fantastic, though I had a feeling that the position I was assigned did not necessarily reflect my skill set and interests. Nonetheless, colleagues were great, training was good, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and have fun.

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

    • Colleagues were nice, however, I felt the project I placed in required quite senior employees. This meant that they had a lot to do and an important personal life.

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

    • Consistent support and guidance by supervisor - always there to help me and give me the right contacts.

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

    • Some moments of work-related inactivity. However, I just used these times to continue my online training or socialise through the instant messenger at our disposal!

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

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

    • Given a lot of responsibility from day 1. Training was great.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Not the most exciting place to work at. The 'extra' activities planned by HR were a great way of making things more varied.

    1/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Amazing guidance from day 1 - HR kept in touch with us very often and the internship itself was organised with no evident hiccups at all.

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

    • The firm really made believe they wanted me 100%. Mid-reviews and final reviews were a good way of getting feedback and being able to develop on skills.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Employment prospects are fantastic if the fit is right between the company and the intern.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Everybody got along extremely well and became good friends through the experience. Interns helped each other out with anything, gave good advice to each other and there was a healthy air of competition.

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

    • London is not the cheapest place to live in, but as student in London it did not come as a shock. In any case, the salary certainly did help a lot!

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

    • Good nightlife; many bars, pubs and some clubs. Obviously expensive in the City, but other areas in London are accessible too so it wasn't too bad.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Many opportunities available!
