    The Role

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

    • I found the internship to be very enjoyable. I enjoyed coming in to work everyday and I would love to do it again if I was given the chance.

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

    • My team welcomed me as soon as I joined. They were all very friendly and made sure that I knew exactly what I was doing.

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

    • My manager took the time that was needed to guide me through every step of the way and made sure that I was comfortable with what I was doing every day. This was one of the reasons why I found it a joy to come into work every day.

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

    • I found the work balance to be pretty close to perfect. I knew it was going to be hard work and the work that I was given wasn't easy but it always kept me busy.

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

    • It started off with some basic things to get me used to the work that I was doing but as the internship progressed I was given more and more responsibility which was great.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • A lot of the skill that I improved will help me with my degree in the future and I wouldn't have gained these skills if I didn't work in this environment. I built up my teamwork skills to the point where I feel very comfortable working together with other people in any team.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • It was nice to be able to talk to my manager at any time at his desk because the office environment was so welcoming. I could also talk freely with the other members of my team which I felt was important.

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

    • Pretty good. I have to say, there weren't really any problems and it felt very well organised. I could always email someone if I did have any problems though.

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

    • I felt like the company invested quite a lot in me. They offered me training at the start of the internship and during too. If there was anything that I wanted to learn, help was always at hand.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • I got along really well with my colleagues in my team. The other interns were also very friendly, I made some good friends from this internship.

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

    • Can't say that it was cheap but it wasn't that expensive either. I expected it because it's London.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It's London so there's so much choice. So many that I didn't manage to even get around the local places but the ones that we went to were fun.

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

    • Yes there were, the company set up some events for the interns. I really enjoyed going out with the other interns to get to know them better.
