    The Company

    • Quite a serious environment.

    2/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • First person in this particular team so they didn't know what they were doing completely but this soon didn't matter and I was just as capable as people replacing current placement students.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Everyone made effort to train me and guide me throughout the placement, not to mention giving me a level of responsibility.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • More to do with the location, it is quite far out for me.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes.

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

    • Renting was quite expensive but so long as you don't waste too much money socialising at least every weekend should be a breeze.

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

    • Not the best night out you could have.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Campus events and promoting Nestle as an employer yes but activities/sport clubs after work were unheard of.

    2/5
