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

    • At the start of my placement I did feel I was a valued team member. Towards the end of placement my job role changed and I often felt undervalued and like a spare part.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere in the office is generally friendly. With so many students it was a very lively office to work in. If the company isn't on target the general office morale can be low but other than that it is a nice atmosphere.

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

    • Each student has a clear job role and knows help is available.

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

    • I feel that other than the two week training at the beginning of the placement any other training and development really depends on who you are working. There are some Business Development Managers which really help there Sales Co-Ordinators and know the system well whereas other Business Development Managers seem to know less than there co-ordinator.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • There is future job prospects if you are looking for a sales role but there is not much room to progress within the company.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • There is a great social scene as there is so many students working here. This is probably one of the biggest perks to the job as you are never bored.

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

    • As all bills and rent is included in your wage I feel that the cost of living is reasonable as you only have to buy food and pay for social events. I did have my car and the company paid my petrol expenses which was great. I do feel that the general wear and tear on your car isn't covered in the expenses though and some students lack serious respect for other students cars.

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

    • Maidenhead is an okay night out, There is one club which we always seemed to have a great time at! Also with London and Reading so close you can't really complain about the lack of nightlife in Maidenhead.

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

    • There was lots going on with the other interns which everyone was always involved in.
