    The Role

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

    • I found the experience invaluable.

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

    • From day one working on my project my colleagues were very welcoming. They were always willing to help and were very friendly. I was lucky to be involved in a team exercise on my second day which was clay pigeon shooting.

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

    • If I ever had any questions everyone would always try to help me regardless, if it was something they knew themselves. I never had any difficulties asking questions either as all my colleagues were so welcoming.

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

    • I was always set enough tasks to keep me busy and well occupied.

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

    • My project was the initial stages of a very large project. I felt responsible that my work could impact the project as whole. I would like to have contributed more however this would have required many more weeks that what were not available. Therefore I was happy with the responsibility I was given as a whole.

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

    • I feel I will take on board everything I have learnt in to my future career and my degree.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone got on really well together.

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

    • I feel it was structured well on a weekly basis. The only suggestion I would make would be extending the work placement, so that future students could work for longer on a project.

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

    • We went on a course that was very expensive so we were lucky to be given the training for free.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

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

    • I really enjoyed my time at SAS and would definitely view them as a potential employee in the future.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Everyone got on really well together and we spent some evenings together at the cinema and went out for dinner.

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

    • Marlow is an expensive area. We socialised in High Wycombe which had a good variety of shops and entertainment.

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

    • 1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
