    The Role

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

    • I couldn't imagine having a better placement experience.

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

    • My colleagues treated me like a true employee and not an intern. I felt I was really part of a team.

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

    • The support and feedback I received during my placement was phenomenal.

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

    • Obviously at the start of any placement you will be learning the ropes, but once you're up to speed in the way everything works then you'll be nicely busy every day.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • As soon as I was ready I was given access to client work, which is a great and enjoyable responsibility. During this time I also received great support from my team.

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

    • I learnt more during my placement than college and University combined. Not only do I feel that my technical skills have dramatically increased, I also feel that my professionalism has vastly improved.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere was always friendly yet professional. There is a good balance between professionalism and banter, something that I have found is vital to office work.

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

    • The placement was setup well and I never felt like I was left just to get on with something, I was always given work that was valuable to the team and company.

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

    • I was given a lot of one-on-one guidance and help during my placement whenever I needed it. Every member of my team took time to sit with me and go through anything that I didn't understand.

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

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

    • I would love to work as a full time employee if the opportunity is there for me after University.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were nights out as a team and we had a great rapport together in the office.

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

    • I decided to rent a property close to my placement which was a great price considering it was a five minute walk from the main town, and a fifteen to twenty minute drive to work.

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

    • The nightlife in Maidstone is on par with any student area!

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

    • We held social nights and meals which were always fun.
