    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Overall, it was pretty good.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Personally, the people are great. Professionally, not so much; for the year you work on a single project that isn't too important.

    2/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Getting help could be slow at times, but well worth the wait.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • A single project for the entire internship, so you kind of work at your own pace. Regardless, if there is nothing to whilst waiting for the code to load onto test then you can sit there twiddling your thumbs for a few days.

    2/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • The projects are often non-important to business success, or just internal tools.

    2/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The biggest thing I learned was working with a very large system made of tons of components.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The guys can be pretty fun

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • They hire tons of interns, they know what they're doing

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • If you need help, it's there. They have a conference/forum type thing ever few months for everyone; they invest in everyone equally.

    4/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Maybe for some, especially the starting salary that I heard around.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There are plenty on interns at Amadeus, all of them are great.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • It can be quite expensive, especially being close to London.

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • If you go into London, it's great. But if you stick around Heathrow there's not a lot to do.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Plenty of sporting clubs for employees

    4/5
