    • My line manager was always very helpful and eager to make sure I was getting the most out of the placement

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • There were times at the start of the placement when there wasn't much work to do but I got involved in other areas of the business so these became more infrequent.

    4/5

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Usually most people were quite cheerful.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Felt a bit cut off from the rest of the placement students as I was the only one in my office, but I think this was good thing as it felt more like a proper job and not just an extension of uni

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

    • I had a few training workshops and there were thousands of online training courses you could do.

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

    • Flexi Time

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

    • There's no graduate scheme at the offices where I worked but there are potentially opportunities at the offices around London although I'm not sure I want to move down there yet

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • There weren't any other placement students but I've been on a few nights out with work colleagues

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Depends where you go, some of the bars/clubs are expensive as they are in most city centres but there are plenty of places to go if you are on a tight budget

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Had many great nights out!

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