    The Role

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

    • I have really enjoyed working for Panasonic. The Ethos that the company holds is really reflected on how they treat their students.

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

    • I was never treated as a student in my role. I was the centre of communication for my team and was always reminded how much they rely on the student and valued my presence in the team.

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

    • Support was given in several managerial areas throughout the team throughout my time at Panasonic

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was often very busy on a day to day basis and at times struggled. However, it has really taught me how to balance such a large work load and feel it has given me much more experience to take away from my placement than I ever expected.

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

    • Although I did not make a large amount of final decisions, I was often asked for my opinion and this was listened to on a regular basis. I was trusted on several occasions to make decisions and a large amount of responsibility was placed on me for events planning and distribution and design of promotional material in particular.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I believe my placement has widely broadened my skills for the future. It has also given me so many more experiences to talk about within a future job interview. Extra training courses that Panasonic offer have boosted my confidence in areas and look good on my CV.

    3/5

    3/5

    4/5
  • 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?

    • they don't offer a grad scheme but if they liked you and a job comes up that you like - it is taken into consideration that you have worked for the company before.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • We all really got on - socialised outside of work a lot.

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

    • Reading student nights are pretty cheap.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It was good.

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

    • Not many activities were arranged for us - this was mainly done by the students. They do organise a night out and put you up in a hotel before you start so you can get to know the other students a bit before starting.
