    The Role

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

    • I felt it was the best fit for my placement year - I was glad I chose to work here.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Your work was always appreciated, you were doing stuff that really added value.

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

    • I was given lots of support at the start, which was reduced over time as I became more capable. But if needed it, I felt I could still receive help.

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

    • At the start I didn't have that much - but over time it was built up so you weren't overwhelmed at the start. But how busy I was varied day to day, but there is always lots to do.

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

    • Again this was built up over time, but by the end I was given lots of real responsibility.

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

    • I was trained in Microsoft Office, which is something I can use in my final year of University and beyond.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Very friendly - you are automatically included into the team and made to feel welcome.

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

    • It was pretty well organised, as they have had many years of interns.

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

    • There are quite a few areas of training you can get involved in - but it's up to you how involved you get.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I think this a great company to work for - but as its quite a small company it depends on job opportunities.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • It depends on how actively you try to arrange with other interns, as there aren't many cross department events.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I didn't live in the area, but from what other interns say it was around average. As it isn't a student area the socialising wasn't extremely cheap but a fair price.

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

    • Frimley itself is very quiet, but there are more lively areas near by e.g. Guilford.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There is a company social club, this does trips out and sports lessons. There are also occasionally company meals outs and events.
