    The Role

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

    • I thoroughly enjoyed my placement and all the skills I gained from it.

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

    • People here are really friendly and always happy to help.

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

    • Not only do you have your manager for support, but also a placement mentor which I really helped me make this placement my own.

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

    • It was usually very balances but occasionally got very busy.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • My role itself was quite routine and I would say I had little responsibility- however that is the nature of my role. Outside this, however, I did take on quite a lot of responsibility working with other areas.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Definitely skills for life.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Similar to other work places- not very lively but not dull- just a relaxed working environment.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Having the previous intern guide you for the first few weeks makes the transition so much easier.

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

    • I was taken to a conference in Arizona where I was really treated as permanent part of the team. HP even paid for my Chartered Institute of Marketers membership and there was a lot of training courses you could take.

    5/5

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

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

    • I would love to come back in the future- but

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Not really in the Bristol office.

    1/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • It's on par with most other southern cities- maybe just a little bit higher.

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

    • I really wouldn't know... But having 2 universities means there's always a lively nightlife in Bristol.

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

    • Bristol does offer a lot of opportunities from volunteering to classes of every kind. Whatever you're interested in, there's something available. Plus UWE is really close by and they offer lots of classes/ societies.
