    The Role

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

    • Although the job is tough and the hours are long I have loved my placement year and I’m looking to return after uni, I’ve learnt a lot and made the best friends. Couldn’t recommend it more!

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

    • My colleagues have become some of my closest friends.

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

    • Various managers give different levels of support but they are always there for you if you need anything.

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

    • Very occasionally we had a quiet day but most days I was busy from the minute I got in until the minute I left but this makes the hours fly by and I enjoyed it.

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

    • Towards the end I asked for more responsibility as my knowledge grew and I wanted to take this on but you’re constantly given new roles and areas to be responsible for and this gives you a good knowledge of all areas of the business.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have gained so much confidence in myself which will help in the future. I have learnt a lot which I will take with me and I think the work ethic will help so much with finishing my degree and whatever career I may have.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Nearly all of the time we had a great atmosphere. We got on very well and were like a small family. There were stressful times which could affect the atmosphere but generally it was good.

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

    • We had regular training sessions and a structured training programme to follow with a clear end goal.

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

    • The talent acquisition and talent development departments invest heavily in all of us. They train us with a view to us returning from university ready to go straight into a management position. They invest in interns as much as they do in graduates.

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

    • Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I am hoping to return to the role once I have graduated and I will be staying part time during my final year.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes we regularly socialise together.

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

    • It is fairly reasonable. It is a big uni town so caters well to students.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife is fairly good where we worked and we are close to several large cities.

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

    • There were quite a few activities outside of work such as area nights out and charity events.
