    The Role

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

    • I found the day's were relatively long, but it is to be expected and was a true reflection of what working for the company would be like, it was on the whole an enjoyable experience.

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

    • I felt that I fit in almost straight away with my colleagues and felt like it always seemed as if they had time for me, no matter what level they were which was pleasing and encouraging.

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

    • The incharge's on the jobs that I was on were very helpful, giving me tasks to complete and support when needed.

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

    • My day's we're longer than I was used to, but I found that most of the time I had things to do which kept me busy.

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

    • Responsibility gradually increased throughout the placement, as can be expected in this line of work, it is difficult to throw to much on you from the off.

    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 already found that some of the things that I have picked up on the job have helped in my university degree.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Although it can be a high pressured job there were seldom times that I heard negativity, people were positive and upbeat about the work most of the time.

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

    • I feel a little more communication could have taken place prior to the start as it felt a little like going cold.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The firm offered the same benefits to me on the placement as the full time employees got, as well as pay at a competitive rate and a night in a hotel prior to joining, which seemed very reasonable to me.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • Was offered the job on the final day of the placement.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was only one other intern on the job and we didn't spend much time together, however I regularly played football with some of the interns, had a bbq after a csr day and went for drinks/ lunch a few times.

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Competitive to most cities.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I live local to the area so know the nightlife well, but didn't explore it much with colleagues.

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

    • As above mentioned, I got involved with football and the CSR day.
