    The Role

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

    • I have really enjoyed it. Intel gives Interns real responsibility and chances to drive business value on numerous projects. Add to this the great social environment the company has and free gym. The only bad bit is the location.

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

    • To an extent. Working in a geographically dispersed team has its challenges; however i feel it requires more trust and communication than a face to face team.

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

    • You are given an on the job coach (mostly a senior member of your team) and a buddy (normally a graduate) who can offer as much or as little advise as you would like. You also get regular 1:1 time with you Manager on progress and development.

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

    • It varied from week to week, as the job is so project based. Some weeks I would finish at 3.30pm, other weeks I wouldn’t finish until 8pm.

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

    • For an Intern, lots. I have been in sole control of a multi-million $ budget, Sales incentives and Marketing Program's with Dell and a Intel micro-website on Dell.co.uk

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

    • Intel offer lots of training courses (all paid for) for all areas/stages of development. As well as compulsory new hire training, popular courses amongst Interns include Presentation Skills, Advanced Excel and Effective Communication.

    5/5

    The Company
