    The Role

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

    • The role was a good role to do as an undergrad on placement. However, it is not a role i want to perform long term and for, it was boring at times, expecially towards the end of the year.

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

    • I was well valued.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Support was there if I needed it, all I had to do was ask. However I felt I did not need much support so i did not push for this.

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

    • The role started off not very busy which is to be expected. As my role grew I was very busy, I would say to a really good level. At SAP you can be as busy as you like, depending on how much you choose to take on.

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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility which increased throughout the year as i proved myself more and more.

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

    • The personal development was huge. SAP in particular can offer really good training and development support if you look for it.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The area in which I worked was next to the management and sales teams therefore it was a high pressure environment.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Generally very good. I did a new role therefore other roles were set up better with a handover and buddy in place whereas mine wasn't. Going forward my role will be much better set up due to someone having now done the role.

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

    • Not too much. Development and training is there if you ask for it and there are a lot of people more than happy to support you with Uni/Dissertation or career advice etc.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    National Travel

    International Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    Above 25 days holiday
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Being fairly new to offering placements, SAP are slightly behind the curve. Ther eis no graduate scheme in place however they are developing this quickly and a few placements students will be offered jobs.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • The intern community is one of the best things about the placement year and everyone goes out, has parties and socialises.

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

    • Slightly outside London so the rent doesn't kill you. The office is outside london, about a 20 minute drive form where I lived so it wasn't too bad.

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

    • Few options unless you travel into London which is then very expensive/

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

    • I personally played football every week which was great and went on to play in the SAP Cup in Germany which was fantastic.
