    The Role

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

    • It was a really good job, with a lot of experience for the future, a lot of responsibility put on me and some cool people.

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

    • They treated me as a normal co-worker from day one, and definitely respected the work, that I was doing.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Well, support could have probably been a bit better, but I would say, it was alright for that size of company and overall I enjoyed it more that way, since there was more responsibility put on me.

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

    • I could arrange work myself most of the time and never was really stressed, though I certainly had enough work to do. Only a few times I had to wait on other people, which slowed work down a bit.

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

    • That was probably the highlight of the job (though also with a few drawbacks), I was given full responsibility, control and flexibility, which obviously has also a few drawbacks, seeing that I felt a little bit lost at times, but overall it was great.

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

    • Time will tell how useful the skills will be for future studies, but the skill I learned here are really valuable for this business area and future employment.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • People were cool and relaxed, music was played most of the time, we got a free cake when it was someones birthday, so all in all pretty good.

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

    • Some people would probably rate this a bit lower. In the first few days, the people here were a bit unprepared for us and we didn't had much to do, but that changed relatively quickly and as I said, I instantly got treated as a normal co-worker with all benefits and drawbacks that brings (well, apart from the same pay)

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There was a short training at the beginning, but afterwards not much. When I needed things, they considered it how they would consider it for a normal employee in that office.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • Could probably get a job, but want to develop into different areas in the future

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was one other student/internship and a few apprentices. There wasn't really anything specific done, so we would get to know each other, but I sat next to the other intern and we got really close over time.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Well, I stayed in student accommodation over summer, so nothing changed here and London is London, so obviously not cheap, but that is to be expected.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I would say, depending on the taste, there something for everyone, a lot of pubs, clubs and restaurants.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There wasn't really anything, just a few events here and there.

    1/5
