    The Role

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

    • The job has been very enjoyable and a great experience.

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

    • My colleagues gave me work that was both challenging and valuable for them. Meaning I felt very much valued by my colleagues.

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

    • Whenever I required help I was given support, but at early parts I felt slightly out of my depth.

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

    • At the beginning the work was mainly research based to build my understand, so it was slightly slow. But once I got into it there was plenty given.

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

    • I was given a good amount of responsibility, doing work that would actually help the company, rather than things that would be pushed to the side.

    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 have learnt so many new skills that I definitely wouldn't have been able to get just from university life. I will take them through to any future career that I have.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The departments were slightly divided. But there was plenty of communication through out which made the whole experience much more comfortable.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It was clear that much work had been done on the internship process over the last few years, making it far smoother than I expected in the first few days.

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

    • There was a good induction process, and whenever I needed help in advancing my skills I was always happily assisted.

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

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

    • If I did well enough through out the process I will be given a graduate place. So fingers crossed.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was a number of past graduates, meaning the peer group was good to go out with.

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

    • Lunch was available at low prices and some areas were quite cheap.

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

    • Nightlife was average.

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

    • There was relatively few activities outside of the office, although a treasure hunt was organised that was very enjoyable.

    4/5
