    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • sometimes a bit boring, dealing with computer issues & stressful which is why only 7/10.

    4/5

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

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Some support and guidance but also trusted to be independent and work things out for myself. But anytime I asked for help everyone was very accommodating.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • So busy - lots of time pressure but throughout the internship I became more efficient.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • A lot of responsibility - worked on real tasks with my team, not made up projects so the stakes were quite high.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Excel skills will be so useful, and just general skills of managing my time, knowing when to ask for help, attention to detail.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Unbelievable friendly and chilled - I had expected a really competitive environment but that was not the case it was very collaborative.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • In general very organised. The only downside was not having a permanent desk which meant some days I was unsure where I was working and had to move around a lot.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • My team invested a lot of time in me showing me how to do certain tasks and explaining concepts to me. Outside of my team and in other functions everyone I asked for a shadowing session was really happy to have one and teach me new things even when they were busy.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • 3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Very appealing - a really nice working environment and culture that appeals to me a lot.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Intern socials were nice to meet people from across the firm and also team lunches or drinks meant I could really bond with my team away from an office environment.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Pretty expensive - however food and drinks at intern events were free!

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Too exhausted to go out properly - instead just got casual drinks after work sometimes.

    1/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Didn't really have much time for that.

    2/5
