    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • It has been a great experience, it's a great company to work for and you get all the support you need.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I worked in a great team and they appreciate a lot the work interns do. I was given a lot of responsibility and I was relied on on vital tasks.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I had a great relationship with my line manager, great support. We had meetings on a regular basis and towards the end of my placement, we focused on career development only.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • There were times when I was extremely busy (i.e.quarter ends), but there were times when I didn't have much to do.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a lot of responsibility and I had a fully fledged role, not just an intern role. When other people of the team left and they weren't replaced, responisibilites got shared and interns got a fair share. I was covering for memebers of the team while they were on holiday as well.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The experience I have gained and the skills I have developed are extremely valuable for my future career. I would have never gained these skills at university and they will help me get a graduate job much easier.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The team was great and we had a lot of fun at times but because our team supported high management, the atmoshpere was more serious. On the other hand, it was really good in terms of exposure to high management.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The placement was set up very well, I had 1 month on-boarding and handover with the previous intern and the roles and responsibilities were established at the beginning.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I didn't do any training courses that the company had to pay for but I had the chance to do SAP specific training courses.

    4/5

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

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • They are investing a lot in their interns, but nobody is able to come back as they don't have a graduate scheme in place. There isn't a possibility to secure a job before finishing your placement.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • We had a really good social life as we were a big intern community, we regularly went for drinks, night outs, birthdays

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • London is very expensive and the cost of living was high compared to the pay

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Nightlife in the area I worked was not very good but we had good transportation links and we could easily get to places.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • i.e. CSR (tree planting, Zero to Hero challenge), football for the boys, netball for girls.
