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

    • I felt especially valued as a supplier for tasks otherwise outsourced to freelancers.

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

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

    • Quite busy sometimes, but never out of my comfort zone.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Handled smaller projects without immediate supervision, but otherwise needed to report to supervisor. Still always felt I was given the right amount of responsibility without feeling neither constantly monitored or left alone.

    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 internship was extremely helpful in acquiring relevant work experience for my future career as well as experience in a foreign country.

    • Always busy, but friendly colleagues who would occasionally do something together outside work too.

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

    • The training period was well organised. Workload during the rest of the internship was of course highly dependent on the work coming in, but I was hardly ever bored or had too less to do. When the workload in my team was lower, I was given the chance to get and insight and help out in other department.

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

    • The trained me not only on the job as an intern, but also as a supplier so that I could continue working as a freelancer for them after the end of my internship.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • We interns had a very good relationship and are still in contact today.

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

    • The host family I lived with in Streatham was horrible, but chances to go out around London Bridge were great.

    • Nice clubs and bars to have a nice time.

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