    The Role

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

    • The internship programme was designed so as to give interns a brilliant balance of responsibility, subject matter knowledge, training, networking and chances to hear very senior speakers.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My team trusted me with a lot of responsibility and gave me constant progress updates.

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

    • I was given support by my direct superiors within my team on a regular basis, with formal 1-2-1 sessions every week and informal contact always. I also was given a mentor in another, unrelated team who was another point of contact, as well as a 'buddy' - a new joiner to the company.

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

    • Some days very busy, some days not so much - I felt overall there was a very good balance. Working within a project management team meant everyday was different.

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

    • I was given enough responsibility to push myself and then some. I was also given opportunities to comment on whether I could deal with more or if I felt under too much pressure.

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

    • Whilst the skills might not immediately contribute to the completion of my degree they will certainly help me next year when I start as a graduate.

    5/5

    • Some slight hiccups but overall the programme was extremely well designed.

    5/5
