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

    • I learnt a lot of skills especially in communication, but the one that will last is time management. This is something that will help me endlessly.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • I think the office was perfect for me. Quiet enough to work, but interesting enough characters to keep a happy upbeat mood.

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

    • It was set up so that I would have ongoing tasks thoughout my placement and if I wanted more responsibilty I could take this on board.

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

    • My manager was a good mentor and spent a lot of time helping me where needed. Iwas treated like an empolyee and was given the employee extras other received. I was also able to attend a training course, which is normally given to permenant employees.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Gaining a job within Adidas would be a great achievement.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • The one downside would be meeting other placement students. This wasn't really organised, but I believe this is due to the variations in the recruitment process. I have met other students / graduates however in a weekly football game.

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

    • The north in general is much cheaper than the south

    4/5

    • Not in Stockport, but in Manchester (very close by)
