    The Role

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

    • I did not greatly enjoy sitting in the same seat working with technology on a daily basis, but the work was varied, and gave me the opportunity to have insights into all kinds of business.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My team were extremely supportive and constantly provided me with feedback, often being vocal about how appreciative they were of the work I had been doing.

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

    • I was provided with feedback on a daily basis, and extremely detailed feedback at the end of my placement.

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

    • I like to be busy - so for me, the intense hours were good. I was finished by 8pm most days too, which was very nice.

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

    • Because I had previous experience with the company, I was given a great deal of responsibility.

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

    • The work I did will not assist me in my studies in Philosophy. But it was certainly worthwhile in gaining an insight into corporate culture and business practices.

    1/5

    The Company

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

    • I did not enjoy the repetitive tasks that even very senior members of the team were being asked to do day by day.

    1/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The internship was extremely well organised by HR - right down to the hours and specific intern socials.

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

    • I feel like I was certainly invested in to return to the company, so that I was being taught skills that would be transferrable onto another technology based consulting project.

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

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

    National Travel

    Financial Bonus

    Above 25 days holiday

    Working from home
    2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I was offered a graduate job, and the starting graduate salary is certainly appealing, but it is not my dream job, no.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Amongst fellow interns, there was a good social scene, but amongst the team there was not.

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

    • London is expensive. Totally worth it.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London, again.

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

    • Few as an intern - but if you work there for longer you could join societies and take charity days.
