    The Role

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

    • Good placement with mainly good colleagues. Did sometimes feel like school i.e. colleagues could be patronising. As many other placements, work was typically simple and repetitive tasks that senior staff didn't want to do.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Felt as though we were very replaceable and not really a part of the team sometimes.

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Managers and supervisors were excellent in making sure we were well trained, knew what we were doing and confident in working.

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

    • Kept fairly busy. If you completed all your tasks you were given more/told to train

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Not given a huge amount of responsibility, management kept checking on you and your work

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Definitely feel more confident presenting, coming up with ideas, being in a corporate environment etc.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Felt cliquey at times but generally colleagues were fun (sometimes)

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Well organised as they knew they would have students coming in and they made us feel welcome

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Interns were limited with what training they could do. Otherwise they did try to make sure we were challenged

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Probably would not work here again since I felt I didn't fit into the environment, atmosphere and industry

    1/5

    The Culture

    • Socialising with other interns was fun

    5/5

    • As expected, living in london is very expensive

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Good bars and clubs

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