    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really felt part of the team and wasn't treated as an intern. The work was varied but detailed, allowing me to get a real sense of working in the industry.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • My team were absolutely lovely, letting me know exactly how I was doing throughout the year without ever being overly formal.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was given support whenever needed and was able to ask for more help at any point.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Due to the nature of the industry, certain times were busier than others, but the work was never too much to handle and was ultimately extremely rewarding.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • From day one tasks were given to me with little supervision (apart from the necessary to make sure I wasn't struggling) and responsibility only increased as the internship progressed.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • While perhaps not being too relevant to my university degree, the placement has definitely provided me with skills (on the job and in training sessions) that will prove invaluable when I look for jobs as a graduate.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • My team have been brilliant, finding the perfect balance between ensuring work comes first while being able to engage with each other on a personal level.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The training schemes offered to interns were superb, acting as a framework for the placement, structuring both the way you work and giving you the ability to evaluate both yourself and your role within the company.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The intern training scheme was brilliant, with away days as a team alongside more conventional sessions with the rest of the interns. IT courses are available for those who want them and all you have to do is ask and help will be given.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • While appealing, I do not think the company is in the position to offer than many ex-interns employment when they finish their degree, though this is mainly due to the relatively small number of employees.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Intern drinks were frequent if you wanted to attend but there was never a culture of interns vs. permanent staff.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Central London is always going to be expensive but company events were usually paid for by the company.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • If you chose where to live wisely, the nightlife is what you make it.

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Loads of voluntary schemes are available from charity based events to inter-departmental work based schemes.

    4/5
