    The Role

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

    • Enjoyable when I was busy. But not enough work.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Not always passed down work. Colleagues are busy most of the time with their own work, so it becomes difficult to keep delegating work and explaining fully to interns.

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • If help was needed, it was always given.

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

    • Not very busy on a daily basis. Some times I had a lot of work, whereas other times it was dead. Not consistent.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Not a lot of responsibility given as you enter the company at a low level. Any work completed must be checked and scrutinised. Only work that was do-able was passed along. Nothing too challenging.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Didn't really recieve any technical training. Learnt a few things in Excel that may help/assist in the future. Nothing major gained.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Atmosphere was not dull, but in an office environment, everybody got down to their work most of the time.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The internship could be more organised, with regular work being given to interns. Potentially assign someone in charge of delegating work.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The company invests more in new graduates, by funding their studies and paying for them to sit the Institute exams. As an intern, there is not a lot invested in you.

    2/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Would like to try other organisations before accepting a position with this organisation.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • Many socials organised throughout the internship. Colleagues were very welcoming.

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

    • Cost was reasonable.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Only been out the once, so the nightlife seemed fairly good.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • A few oppurtunities, not a lot.

    2/5
