    The Role

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

    • It is a hard and busy placement but really enjoyable. You are an employee not a placement student and i loved that

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt very valued, you really are another member of the team and if you do a good job they tell you about it.

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

    • My manager was amazing. Despite being based abroad she was really helpful and she was very happy to help with any issues and if i had any questions she was always available.

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

    • It is busy, if you want a placement where you can chill out a little bit then this isnt for you. But you are trusted and the events you go on can be really fun. You work hard but you are appreciated for it.

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

    • I was given my work and projects and any mistakes/successes were mine as i said before you are another employee so they trust you.

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

    • This has taught me so much. I feel the skills I picked up are going to help me through my life and this placement has taught me that I want to work in this industry in the future

    5/5

    4/5

    • Well organised as there has been a placement student in this role for years so the process is generally well worked. Manager was very helpful as were the rest of the team,

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

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • There are a large number of gard roles but unfortunately none in the marketing area which is the area I would like to go into.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • With there being over 40 interns in the office its a very friendly place and there are lots of oppotunites from intern nights out to the intern football team

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

    • Pretty cheap as most interns live in Reading which is not an expensive place to be.

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

    • Reading is ok but it is a lot of clubs which are pretty similar. No great variation

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

    • Lots constant invites to do stuff with other employees and as you are only 30 mins from london on the train its pretty good

    4/5
