    The Role

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

    • Very exciting work, rewarding to have worked on a couple of projects that met a real business need.

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

    • Colleagues were very supportive and provided necessary training at the start of the internship. I was given useful and constructive feedback throughout the process. My colleagues also clearly appreciated the boost in productivity that the three interns created by doubling the team size!

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

    • Exceptionally kind mentor who would often take time off his own tasks to help me out

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

    • Autodesk company culture makes it simple to do a sensible amount of work without overloading

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

    • I was given agency to do my own tasks, these were allocated based on collaborative discussion about which skills we could bring to each task. Accountability on task completion using Jira.

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

    • Computing skills not directly relevant to Mech. Eng., but the knowledge I picked up about machining will be invaluable in certain modules.
