    The Role

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

    • Great place to do an internship. The size of the company means you get a good overview of most departments.

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

    • Everyone was friendly and willing to answer questions across the board. Lots of people showed gratitude when I did work to help someone out.

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

    • My managers always found time to answer questions and set work. They were also helpful with feedback and any criticism was constructive.

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

    • The amount of work set fluctuated quite a lot. On the whole I was kept busy and even in quiet periods you can always find something to be doing.

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

    • Surprisingly large amount of responsibility, I was doing work which directly helped people out and was never set menial tasks just for the sake of it.

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

    • Not much relevance to degree studies other than maybe giving some research project ideas but the training was good and the internship was a very good opportunity to get a strong understanding of the business.

    5/5

    • London is expensive in general but that's wasn't a surprise.

    4/5

    • There were a few events for the interns which were good fun.
