  • I understood a lot about the company culture, how fun, driven and aspirational it is. All employees are self driven and motivated, wanting to be there. Absenteeism is low. All employees thrive within their jobs, especially with managers who sit next to employees, showing equal level of hierarchy within the workplace.

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Yes. It has made me realise that I definitely want a job within the aerospace industry. I also enjoy finance however, want it on the side of another role. This supported my placement application as I was able to focus upon the specific industry when applying and role specific. !

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I was unpaid and not reimbursed however, this was a voluntary experience that I got myself ergo, did not ask or expected to be reimbursed. I also had a family member who lived locally to the area ergo, I stayed with her and drove. I imagine the business may have paid expenses.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Opportunities to meet individuals from different departments and higher managers. I spoke to staff who dealt with treasurer and governmental issues and learnt about their role. This was fascinating as I did not know their role existed so was exciting to see! I was the only student at the time.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Opportunities were amazing. It is a business that gift you opportunities but at the same time, you have to seek them. If I had more time, I would have liked to have visited other departments however, I was only in the business for four days. However, I met a few contacts.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes. Many social events, organised on social media. Employees within departments were all friends and interested in peoples lives. Managers were extremely friendly and understanding and they position themselves on the same level of hierarchy as employees. Social life seemed amazing and exciting, what it should be within a business !

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would recommend this to a friend interested within the aerospace industry especially if an individual is unsure of what career industry or role to partake in. So many opportunities within the business and quick career progress! Amazing would definitely recommend and would like to work for the business again!
