    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I enjoyed it a lot. It was in the field of work that I'd like to be working in after my degree so it was extremely beneficial to my career.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Our office and team were quite small, so the sense of community was massive, and I always felt included and valued by the people I worked with.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My manager always had time for me whenever I needed it, and was always encouraging of me to ask any question no matter how big or small.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Varied by day, our team had a large variety of tasks to complete that were divided up during the daily stand up and I was always given a fair amount of these tasks to do. If the work ever became overwhelming, I knew I could ask for help to share the load. (However, the work never became overwhelming) I was never in the office later than my expected 9-5 and I never had any homework, but likewise I was never sitting idle or bored.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I never felt so much pressure that I felt genuinely anxious that I would be in trouble for messing things up, however on multiple occasions I had tasks that I knew were genuinely important and that I later saw referenced and utilised by wider teams, so I knew that the work I did mattered not just to my team but to the group.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • As a computer science student, the opportunity to work with professional data scientists and to do actual practical data science tasks is absolutely invaluable.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Whilst we always got our work done there was never a negative atmosphere in the office and it appeared that everyone had a positive rapport with one another

    5/5

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

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The team I was placed in was quite small and highly specialised and the time I was with them was particularly intense, so to take an intern in at a time like that was a risk on their part I feel which I am very grateful for

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • National Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Would love to join the group if a similar job to this one was available.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • People were often rude and quite cliquey

    1/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Very expensive however I appreciate that the group did pay for my accomodation

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • In theory nightlife in London is pretty good but I didn't take advantage of it much outside of a few gigs

    4/5

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