    The Role

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

    • The work was monotonous and the office was very isolated. Working from a spereate office to my wider team was highly de-motivating.

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

    • My line manager barely ever thanked me, never communicated at a personal level and regularly made derogatory comments infront of colleagues. In contrast, in my frist role my manager was very appreciative of my efforts and shared my successes with the wider team which made me feel very appreciated.

    1/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Support was lacking, ammendments were regularly given but direction and guidance was lacking.

    2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • This was highly variable which is understandable given the nature of the projects I worked on.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • In my first role I was given a high level of responsiblity and autonomy which was highly motivating. in my second role I was constantly micro-managed to the point of being unable to send an itnernal email without approval for the first month in role. This was incredibly frustrating.
