    The Role

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

    • It was a really rewarding placement. I got given a lot of responsibility, and really was part of the team. I will be sad to leave.

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

    • I felt like a valued member of the team, and was often approached for my thoughts on issues.

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

    • They were always ready to help me, no matter what the issue.

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

    • My role was a very busy role at certain times of the month, due to being a financial position. However, at other times of the month, it was less busy, which allowed me time to reflect on things I had done and completing other tasks.

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

    • My role was quite independent, so after the initial starting process, I was almost left on my own. I was still able to ask my managers about issues, etc, but I enjoyed the independence of the role.

    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 have learnt a lot of skills that I will be able to use when I return to university to help make my life easier, e.g. time management, and excel skills. Also, there are a lot of skills that I will be able to use in future jobs, in specific programmes such as SAP.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • It was a very quiet office, which made it a lot easier to get down to working. However, it was also a very friendly office, so I would often go and chat to people in my office to get a break from my work.

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

    • It was very well set up, with a lot of intern specific training, to help us with the whole experience, down to CV checking when we leave in preparation for after university.

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

    • There were a lot of training courses throughout the year, and there were opportunities for more through language courses and Lunch and Learns.

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

    • Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    Working from home

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

    • The company keeps in touch with you after you leave to inform you of any jobs you may be interested in, but there are no specific graduate jobs.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • The interns at WB tended to socialise at lunchtimes and after work, which was great.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Very expensive, but this was sort of expected, due to being in central London. However, after a few months, it was easier to find out where was cheap on what days.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • We were very close to Leicester Square, so the nightlife could be good, you just had to make sure you had a lot of money.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • This depended on the department, and the people organising any activities. This overall was good.
