    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • There were times when it was hard work and I seemed to work longer hours then many of the other placement students but otherwise worth it.

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

    • I was told frequently that I was key to keeping projects moving.

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

    • My team made me apart of everything they did, getting me involved whenever they could. They gave me more responsibility as time went on, giving me my own projects which made me feel valued and a real part of the team.

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

    • As time went on my team gave me more and more responsiblity and especially my role was a very busy one. There was always something to do. If some days were quieter than others my managers would always ensure I was kept busy.

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

    • I felt the more I was trusted and valued within my team the more responsibility I was given. Near the end I was given some of my very own projects, in which I learnt some valuable skills and gained some good experience.

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

    • I learnt alot about the powertools industry and the day to day operations of a business enviroment. I think I learnt valuable computer skills which will be essential in a future career.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Absolutely loved my office. Everyone was so welcoming and really good fun, made some really good friends. Often had fancy dress days and team nights out.

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

    • I find this difficult to judge as at the time that I obtained my placement there were a lot of business changes which meant things were held up, however from what I've seen this year the process is so much more seamless and well organised.

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

    • I was sent on exactly the same training courses as any consultants that joined the business, which I was really surprised about, and really appreciated. I was also included in any top up training throughout my placement.

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

    • Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events

    Healthcare from home

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

    • Returning to 3M appeals to me as I really enjoyed my time there.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was a very good social scene, helped by the number of events organised 3M

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

    • Cost of living hideous as is the cost of going out around the City/central London. The generous salary make up for this somewhat, but does mean you dont save a lot from the 10 weeks of work.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Loads of places to go and heaving with young people

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

    • In the summer there is plenty going on in the parks, especially on weekends, which should be taken advantage of.
