  • The variety of tasks given to me when requested and the people at the company helped me to enjoy the placement.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • As with any company you'll feel more valued when you complete tasks and receive praise, or when you have ownership of a project. I felt quite valued throughout the year.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Anytime I asked for help or guidance it was given to me. Not always on the spot, but always received support.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • You get as much work as you ask for i guess. but the majority of the time I had a reasonable amount of work to be getting on with. There's always something to do, just need to ask.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Given a certain amount of responsibility. Given access and asked to amend business critical tasks, just check with your supervisor before you make any major changes!

    4/5

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

    5/5
