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

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

    • My line manager and his manager were very helpful, and would help me out with anything I didn't understand. The same applied for the rest of the department.

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

    • Occasionaly I wouldn't have much to do, but that was because of waiting for email replies to the project I was working on. However, if I asked, I was always found work.

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

    • I was given a medium amount of responsibility. I feel I could have been given bigger projects, as the ones I was given unfortunately seemed to have a smaller scope than it first seemed. However, we were given as much time as needed to work on projects and I did feel responsible for all the work and outcomes that I achieved.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I developed will give me a great experience within a corporate environment, one which I had not experienced before!

    The Culture

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

    • Very good social scene with placement students; all about how you make the placement for yourself. If you like socialising then you can easily organise things with interns. We went out for nights out, meals out and cinema trips!

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

    • Guildford is quite expensive - much like any other southern place!

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

    • Guildford has lots of little bars, pubs and clubs! Friday nights are good!

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yep, football matches, bbq's, summer parties. Very social scene with Allianz, and there is a social page on the intranet with various offers around Guildford and within the company.
