    The Role

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

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

    • My team were helpful in looping me in with things and thinking of me as another member of the team.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My line managers were great and we had lots of 1 to 1s and they kept asking for my own opinion on things and getting me involved in projects.

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

    • Some days very busy, other days not so much.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

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

    • Probably more with beyond than with my degree (economics)

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • A good atmosphere in the office - never tense.

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

    • Quite unorganised. The event the first few days was a waste of time, and the intern council were very difficult to get hold of and speak to.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Not really much focus on personal training unless you seek it.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • Quite exciting but not as good as the competition's employment prospects are.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • More among colleagues than placement students.

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

    • Quite expensive but a lot of fun!

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Nowhere better.

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

    • Not really
