    The Role

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

    • Amazing people to work with, went straight into important work (after some training of course!) and overall was very enjoyable

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

    • Several events took place which I was invited by the company to go to, and never left out of anything

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

    • All questions and help given to me - no complaints at all!

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

    • Some days when a deadline was due the workload increased but was never to the point of being too busy. Likewise when the amount of work was decreased it gave a perfect opportunity to work on other side projects

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

    • All work was set by other clients or within the company and all of it is used, some of which more important and required more responsibility but it was never extremely high given that I was only a placement student understandably!

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • This has given me a vast boost in knowledge in another programming language which I was not too familiar with, as well as the processes in creating a game - all of which will certainly be useful in my final year project and beyond!

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Never dull and a great balance between working and fun - Emails sent around with a specific games and fun inbox as well as a pool table and gaming consoles so the atmosphere was never dull

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

    • Always had work to do whether it was working on an actual game or whether it was an in-house project, with help given along the way. Very well set-up and everything went to plan and to the schedule set up for me by my line manager.

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

    • Specific gaming and programming events occurred along my placement which I was invited to go to, along with everything required being given to me

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

    • Flexi Time

    Company Parties/Events

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

    • Would definitely not turn down an offer if it was given!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Everyone mixed in at lunch and at events - a perfect social scene

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

    • London prices so can be quite expensive

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

    • Plenty of pubs just across the river in central London, easy to get to and just a quick walk

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

    • Poker nights, general drinks after work on a Friday, plenty of activities to get involved with
