    The Role

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

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

    • Very valued, giving you crucial work from the outset.

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

    • Always willing to do what you ask of them and bend over backwards to have you fit into the company

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

    • Great work load, at no point felt under pressure and at no point felt like I had nothing at all to do.

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

    • Straight into client meetings on the second day.

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

    • A presentation bootcamp type get away from the officec for a couple of days at Bradenham manor which made my presentation skills a tremendous amount better would be the crucial skill I'll take away among many others.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • A lot of socials outside the office but hard work to go along side it inside the office.

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

    • Great structure allowing time to adapt and develop before the next big task/deadline/project was asked of you.

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

    • A weekend away in Bradenham manor would indicate a huge amount.

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

    • Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They are very accomodating and willing to do everything to have you in the business if you prove yourself during the internship.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Many socials organised in the initial stage of the internship which was a great platform for the interns to bond and get to know each other. Department away days followed which were great. Intern organised socials were then a frequent thing.

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

    • Expensive as it was in London but it was fine to find the right place and all social events had a free bar to ease the cost for interns. Lucky to have my own accomodation in London, renting my own place would have been costly by the sounds of things.

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

    • Loads of options.

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

    • Away days, golf days, socials, drinks all on a regular basis.
