    The Role

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

    • At sometimes it has been extremely stressful, though this is good experience for what I will do in the future. It's not exactly the job I would want to do when I graduate, but again, good experience.

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

    • Almost everyone I have worked with has treated me like a colleague and not "just an intern"

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

    • My managers have always been available if I need to ask a question or for help, but I have found a lot has been self taught. As the team is so stretched and so busy they didn't have time to properly train me

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

    • I will go through phases of having nnothing to do, and then being rushed off my feet and having to sign on at night to get things done, though i do quite like some added stress, sometimes it's too much for an intern and how much we get paid.

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

    • A lot of responsibility and I have run large projects and been left to it.

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

    • Good personal skills and experience of working full time and some legal aspects, but not everything I have done will be useful

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Brilliant atmosphere, everyone is friendly and welcoming

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

    • The intern program is well organised as a whole but as my department hadn't had an intern before they didn't know what to expect I think

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

    • I think they ahve invested a lot as I have done so many activities

    4/5

    Sports and Social Club

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • In the distant future yes there are prospects, but for what I want to do directly after graduating, HP do not offer

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • very good events organised by the intern committee, though some behaviour needed to be curbed

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

    • though socialising can be expensive, I lived at home so cost of living was very cheap

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

    • very good nightlife in Reading

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