    The Role

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

    • Its been very exciting working for such a large, well respected company. I have learnt loads of new skills and my technical ability has always improved greatly.

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

    • As a team we have got on really well inside and outside of work. Before joining the placement I was worried that I would not be taken seriously as I was only an intern but this is far from the truth. I feel like a valued member of the team.

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

    • The level of support in this placement is fantastic. I meet with my manager weekly and can talk about anything be it positives or negatives.

    5/5

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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility and was involved in some very big projects, so very content.

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

    • I have learnt a lot of valuable skills but technical and customer orientated. I feel better equipped to head into my final year at uni.

    5/5

    • The whole placement was very structured, from the training when we started and ending with the structured finish.

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

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The chance of a job back at my site are low but that doesn't mean the other sites globally will be the same. I am very glad to have Intel on my CV so I am happy either way.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Very good. A lot of social events and trips were organised, it was like being at uni most of the time!

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The prices are ok if you are lucky and get a house early.

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

    • The only downfall is that there is only one club to go out too, which wasn't good.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Every week there was a new Activity planned so all in all very good.
