    The Role

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

    • Really interesting and keen to involve me in the company

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

    • My project was quite standalone, so work with my team was limited. However, they were very welcoming and pleased to have me

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

    • I was given a line manager who supported me and never made me feel as though I was in the way.

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

    • As an average across the entire internship - there are busier/less busy periods

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

    • As much as can be given an intern: my project was my own but only the result of my project would determine if it would be of further interest to the company

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

    • A lot of practical application of my degree and academic learning

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Quite casual and easygoing. A lot of joking and congeniality.

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

    • A very well organised program, with almost every aspect organised and working well.

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

    • I had a presentation training session, which was really helpful.

    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
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Apparently more than half the interns get taken on, and the consideration for a graduate position is built into the placement - it is part of the assessment.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I lived with a lot of other interns (organised by the company) so they were my main social group all summer. There were intern socials most weeks (we had a social sec) and the company even put on BBQs sometimes.

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

    • I didn't live in the area I worked - perhaps the hour and a half commute is a minus.

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

    • Never went out in the area I worked in, but I'd say pretty bad from what I've heard!

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

    • I went dragon boating, my friend played for the tennis club, there's a cycling club, a running club... Interns don't do these things so much because we're only here for a short time, but we are always invited.

    4/5
