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

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

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

    • I do not think the company would be a great place for someone looking for a technical IT job. Many of the technical jobs at Eli Lilly were being outsourced while I was working there.

    The Culture

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

    • Basingstoke is not great for nightlife. Reading is quite near and has good nightlife though not excellent.

    3/5

    • There were many social events organised by placement students at Eli Lilly but few organised by the company.
