    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Bit difficult as I was moved around a lot so didn't get to know many staff too well, but universally very friendly and interesting.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Regular contact with supervisors and feedback on each piece of work.

    5/5

  • Variable. Always things to do though I expected to be a bit more pressured!

    3/5

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

    4/5

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Lots of moving so not much social stuff going on.

    2/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Low level, assignments were distributed very ad hoc, sometimes felt they didn't know what to do with me. On a high level it was seamless, everything very well planned out.

    4/5

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

  • Subsidised Canteen

    Working from home
