    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Very tiring but very rewarding. A struggle at first because there is so much to learn but lots of support.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was welcomed and especially everyone made a big effort to help me settle in.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Regular 1 on 1 learning's, feedback and advice. This support was really appreciated, and helped me to reflect and improve and also learn about higher level processes that as an intern I would otherwise not have exposure to, giving me a better idea about how the company works on a macro level.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • At times the workload did make things tricky as we were very busy, however this had its benefits as time flew and the days never dragged.

    2/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I had full control of my responsibilities and projects, to improve them if I saw fit and to carry them out from start to finish. You are given a lot of trust, and at times people depend on you which gives you a real sense of pride, feeling valued and appreciated.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I learnt more on this placement than in my entire academic life - the skills are invaluable and gained through jumping in at the deep end. These skills make me feel confident about returning to university and prepared for future jobs prospects.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The atmosphere in the office varies on workload, however there are lots of laughs and chatter!

    3/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The organisation of the work placement really was fantastic. Because the team are used to having a new intern every year, clear defined job roles and regular feedback helped me and everyone knew what the process was.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • There are regular training sessions, and I also attended an off-site training day which was incredibly helpful.

    4/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Flexi Time

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • London is expensive, but if you are careful you are still ok to enjoy yourself, just not all the time!

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • London transport makes everything easy, as the many different club areas of London is really easy and quick to get to.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There were many, and I personally got involved in some volunteer work to do with an industry related charity.

    4/5
