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

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

    • At the start there are a lot of support and as time passes it becomes more and more handsoff approach where you start doing your own things now. If you are stuck or need help, you will always be able to ask someone on you team.

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

    • First week of the month is usually always busy due to month-end tasks I have done. Outside of that, I had a balance time of busy with certain job I would get and a bit slower times with simpler manual tasks sometimes.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • The general atmosphere was amazing, the office was great and my team would talk and gossip and have fun while working. As long as you can complete your work on time without mistakes or minimal amount of mistakes, they had no problems.

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

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They do not offer jobs to anyone but it becomes easier to join the company back again. Infact one of my colleagues that joined within the first few months of my intership, she was an intern 2 years before I started.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • For the most part there are good opportunities to have a decent social life with other student. But that is on you after work. There are student meetings every now and then with activities to get to know each other as well.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Cost of living for a year is around 5.5-6.5k. I didn't choose to live and commuted instead. Big regret and you should live in the area if you can.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
