    The Role

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

    • The placements with the company are great and feedback from other interns was really positive but overall I was not quite suited to my job role so this is where it could be improved upon.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My team were really great and so friendly. they dotn really treat you like an intern, more like a normal employee

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

    • I was in a european team so unfortunately there could have been more support as there were few of my colleagues based in the same office as me. However when I did have catch up with my managers, there were really good at checking to see how I was.

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

    • There was such a variety of workloads throughout the year. Overall through. there were probably more days when I was bored than busy.

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

    • There were some projects I was given more responsibility than others. Occasionally I would just shadow my manager with a project.

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

    • Im really glad I have done this industrial placement even though there had been some negative aspects. Overall I now have that experience that many other people will not have.

    The Culture

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

    • Reading living is pretty standard for a uni town. London would be more expensive, especially if you commuted but costs over the year were generally ok.

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

    • If you got involved in the Reading Student nights out, they were good. It was quieter when the Uni students werent around.

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

    • Lots of Intern socials and football team for the boys. Also lots of charity work including an intern organised Three Peaks Challenge.
