    The Role

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

    • It was a very enjoyable placement, however there were times when I was bored and didn't have much to do.

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

    • Very valued, eveyone was welcoming and nice.

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

    • Some management were very helpful and supportive, others less so though these people were in the minority

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

    • I did get very bored sometimes, just because as an intern you cannot take on massive projects that you know you would not complete. I think if I was employed as a graduate at Rolls-royce I would not have been bored.

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

    • I was given complete responsibilty of the intrumentation for an engine and left to get on with it, this was great as I had free reign and felt really valued!

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

    • Very useful for time management, using the day, working to a budget and schedule.

    5/5

    The Company

    • My office did not have as much banter as some of the offices, but I still had a good time!

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

    • Very well organised by HR etc. however individual departments were not as good at organisation, they didn't seem to plan anything before the interns turned up.

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

    • Very heavily invested in. I was allowed to apply for training courses as long as I could justify needing them. I was able to complete a computer aided design course.

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

    • The job prospects are very good, there is a lot of variety and the graduate scheme looks excellent. All the current graduates clearly really enjoy it and highly reccommend it!
