    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I find my work quite difficult but always have help when I need it. I wouldn't want it to be too easy or I wouldn't be learning anything.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I am close with my project team.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My supervisor is very interactive and goes out of their way to ensure I am okay with my work. My manager is helpful with my more long term goals.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Some days I am rushed off my feet (but enjoy that) and some days I get slightly bored. So wouldn't want it to go further in either direction.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I own my own section of our project.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • This placement teaches things that you can't learn in a classroom. Actually being part of the business is completely different than what you might expect!

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • My team is very quiet but I have a lot of fun within my project team.

    3/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The 6 week intern changeover period was helpful but I originally did not have much work to do after that period.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I receive all the training any other employee gets. Unless that training is expensive! But that's understandable as we may not be coming back.

  • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Hard to say at this point in the year.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Cheapest house i've ever lived in and majority of interns live in that area.

    5/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Good because of the interns, but it is Swindon after all...

    4/5

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

    5/5
