    4/5

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

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

    • The skills that I have learnt from this placement will be invaluable for me when I am back at university, I would highly recommend doing a placement.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Very relaxed atmosphere.

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

    • It is really nice to have other Interns around the office to chat to, and I know that some other companies do not take on as many as NetApp do. In that way, I think the set up of the placements are really good.

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

    • If I want to, I can attend any training session that I think will help me and I have also had some specific training for my role that has been very valuable.

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

    • Company Parties/Events

    Above 25 days holiday
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • At NetApp there is no graduate scheme as of yet, and the HR department is fairly small, so I could not be sure whether there is a chance of future employment.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • There are 8 Interns and we all get on really well.

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

    • I live in the Kingston area, so I do tend to socialise more there.

    3/5

    • 3/5
