    • 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)?

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

    • Put in charge of compiling and publishing daily documents to be sent to clients- much more responsibility that I expected.

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

    • Excel training useful for statistics but relatively little else directly applicable to degree (in politics and economics).

    4/5

    The Company

    • Lots of organised lectures/training/tutorials/socials.

    5/5

    • 3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Central London prices so not cheap.

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

    • Again, Central London (personally living in East London so near Shoreditch etc.)- very good.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Work fairly all-consuming during the week so not a great deal of time other than weekends.
