    • It was much better than last year.

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

    • I felt there was good team synergy and that circulated around the office.

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

    • I didn't get much support other than at two or three F2F meetings with my LM however this was enough direction to allow me to get on and do my job.

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

    • Although things picked up in the end, I was left with very little to do in the first couple of weeks.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given quite a lot of responsibility which I feel helped me develop significantly.

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

    • That's a very cliché question (sorry), other than the general 'work experience ethic' not much from a role as specific as mine can be transferred and certainly not applied to an academic degree.

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • People were spread about the country making communication difficult sometimes, and the office was somewhat quiet.

    2/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I got what I asked for when I stated my preferences weeks before starting and everything has run smoothly inbetween.

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

    • Although not competitive pay in the 'real world', I was still on a fairly competitive salary and received support and dedication from not just my LM's but the wider Group during the placement.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I'm very likely to work here dependent upon my referral however will be applying elsewhere also.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was hardly any social interraction between colleagues which I was quite surprised at, however I did know a couple of interns by the end who were quite sociable.

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • It was average.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Good city for nights out - although far from where I lived.

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

    • In terms of my spare time - yes. If this question applies to activities outside of work but within LBG - not really.
