    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • My enjoyment throughout the year varied due to the nature of the projects that I was involved in. If I found the project interesting then my overall morale and enjoyment would be high however some of the projects seemed to drag.

    3/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I feel like I was valued reasonably well, due to the responsibility I was given throughout the year. Certainly in my team I was valued however in the organization as a whole maybe not so much.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I felt I received a lot of support from my supervisors as whenever I had a question I could always take it to them and they would always be approachable and happy to help.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • This one again varied due to the nature of the projects and how much responsibility I was given. Some days would be flat out and I would have to work til late whereas some days I would just be sat watching the clock.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • As I have mentioned previously I do feel like I was given a lot of responsibility for example I was in charge of tracking the team's finances and organizing promotional and medical educational events. However with great responsibility comes great pressure so to deliver, so there were a few stressful times along the road.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • To a very good extent I would say. For example my excel and outlook skills improved tremendously which will be vital for me in later life due to the digital world we live in. Also the insight that I have gained into the corporate world will be extremely useful no matter what industry I decide to work in.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The atmosphere was great, everyone was so friendly and willing to help. Also the team that I was in (the people I sat directly next to) were amazing and we had so many laughs throughout the year.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • It was fairly organised. The handover period could've been a bit longer as it was hard to get to grips with all the systems after 2 weeks but I guess I just learnt as went along.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • We were given a mentor half way through the year that I never reached out to as I personally never really found the need for it since i was quite happy to just go to my team about any queries or issues I had.

    3/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Flexi Time

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Working from home

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I personally don't feel that the future employment prospects are that appealing due to the low graduate job wage that they offer and from this year I have realized that I don't want to just be stuck at the same desk all day.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • I was lucky to have a good group of fellow placement students as we all got on well however there is not much to do in High Wycombe so we had to branch out to places like Watford for nights out which was not cheap.

    3/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • As I mentioned before it did cost quite a lot to socialize since we would have to branch out to other locations, however I commuted from home so I didn't spend too much overall. Most of my money went on petrol.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Useless, plain and simple.

    1/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Personally no because I wasn't proactive enough about it. If you wanted to go on a field visit with an account manager you would have to do all the arranging yourself and since there were no account managers in my therapy area I struggled getting in contact with any.

    3/5
