    The Role

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

    • Lots of positive feedback, really gave me the impression that i was helping.

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

    • When manager was present, support and guidance was forthcoming. Manager was rarely around, however.

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

    • Work was interesting, but not nearly enough of it. Spent on average about 50% of the time with nothing to do, and nobody around to ask for more.

    1/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Was not enormously responsible for anything immensely important. However, in the context of my duties, it would have been difficult for this to be the case.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Presentation skills were useful.

    3/5

    4/5

    • Very well organised, with two exceptions: 1. Not enough work 2. Accommodation allowance not paid until almost a month after required by most organisations.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Job descriptions were a bit vague, but talking to current grads made the choice easier.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Frequent nights out. However, a large proportion of the grads were Imperial students are were already very cliquey. Not the fault of DB, obviously.

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

    • Very expensive. Central london. Did not expect otherwise.

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

    • Lots of bars, not so much a nightlife. More an after-work-life.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Day's volunteering cutting down trees in Canada Water. Awesome :)
