    The Role

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

    • Enjoyed working at Intel, I have learned a lot of new skills both technical and non-technical and the atmosphere and the way we are treated is brilliant.

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

    • You are integrated in to the team and you are asked your opinion regularly.

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

    • When first started there was a 6 week hand over period with the previous intern, this gave time to gave us time to learn. Once the old Intern had left I was assigned a buddy who was around to ask questions.

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

    • Some days are really busy but others are more quiet.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Most of the work I was doing seemed to be of value to the company, I wouldn't say it was the most responsibility but at the same time I felt like I was providing useful help to the team.

    • 4/5

    The Company

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

    • You are given the oppurtunity to manage your own time, there are places to go and have fun and then you balance that with real work.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Because there are a lot of Intern's joining Intel each year the process is very good. Once you are made a job offer you are given a date for a open day, this open day is a great oppurtunity to learn more about your job role and to meet others in the team. This carries on right through the internship.

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

    • There are a lot of training courses available. All of the soft-skill training courses are compulsory for all Interns but there are also technical courses which your manager can send you on.

    The Culture

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

    • The interns have different societies such as sports and social society and the charity society which arrange nights out and other events. There are oppurtunities to go travelling with the other Interns.

    4/5
