Design Engineer Review

Colleagues at my office was really friendly and helpful. Whenever I had a problem I could just easily approach them and they would help me with anything. Also, I didn't feel excluded baring in mind the age and time in industry difference. Overall I really liked my colleagues as well as made some friends.

My manager was the best manager I could have asked to start my career in engineering. He was really helpful and positive person. I could approach him whenever I needed a hand and he would help me and answer all the questions that I had for him even not work related.

I was usually given quite a lot of tasks to do during the day time. If I would finish my task way before the end of my shift I would just go and speak with my manager and he would give me another task to start, or I would just ask my colleagues if they needed a hand with anything.

As it was my first time working in industry I think I was given quite a lot of responsibility. Bearing in mind that I did not even finished my degree yet. I think this made my internship even more interesting as I knew that the work that I do really matters.

I believe the training and skills that I gained during this internship will really help me in my studies and beyond. As I learned a lot about highways and how to design them as well as how to use different software or fill in the required documents. Also learned a lot about diversity and working culture in an office.

The atmosphere in my office was really good. I was feeling welcomed by everyone. I was to leave my office colleagues at the end of my internship as I made some really good friends there as well as learned a lot and had a chance to work in an industry that I enjoy.

I believe the internship and placement set up was organised pretty well. As I was having a lot of work to do most of my time as well as covering a lot of different topics. However in the beginning there was some issues with the payments and other stuff. But overall it was really good.

I would say this company really invested in me in terms of personal training and my development. As I am not a graduate yet I had to learn a lot of new things which was done with a help from my colleagues. As a result I think they had to put a lot of work and time to teach and show me everything.

I was the only intern at that time in my office. and most of my colleagues were way older than me however I still had a chance to make new friends and have a nice conversations with most of the staff in my office. So I would say it was pretty goof.

I worked in Manchester so therefore the prices here was a bit higher than in Scotland , where I study. However, it was not such a big difference. Bearing in mind that I was paid for my internship as well. However in smaller cities I never had to pay for stuff such as tram pass or so.

I was not going out so I can not really answered this question. However, as it is one of the biggest cities in United Kingdom I am pretty sure that the nightlife is really good in this city as well as there are a lot of other things to do here.

As I mentioned before. Manchester is one of the biggest city in United Kingdom. As a result there were a lot of places and activities to join outside your working hours if you wanted to. Such as cinemas, nightclubs, social events or different gym or dancing classes all over Manchester area.
