    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my placement year at SAP, I had a great team and great job responsibilities.

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

    • I always felt valued by my colleagues - I never once felt like I was being treated as an intern.

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

    • When I first joined SAP I was assigned a buddy - unfortunately this person soon left SAP. The team I had were extremely support of this and I was soon assigned another buddy. I had consistent 121's with my manager which enabled the support I needed to be given.

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

    • How busy I was fluctuated throughout the year. There were some times that were extremely busy and then other times that weren't - this downtime was useful though, because it allowed me to catch up on some of the less important admin tasks that still needed actioning.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I feel like responsibity grew constantly throughout the year - which is how I think it should be. It worked quite well, the more responsibility I was given, the more my confidence grew, which enabled me to perform better whilst carrying out my next task or project.

    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 think that a lot of the skills I have developed whilst on my placement at SAP will benefit me when I return to my studies.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • We had a really good atmosphere amongst my team which was one of the reasons I believe my placement was so enjoyable.

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

    • All of my equipment was ready when I arrive (laptop etc). However, I didn't receive a mobile phone until my second to last months which is a shame because it really allowed me to add mlore value to my team and the role I was undertaking.

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

    • I actually undertook a number of training events and also ran a couple which was really insightful.

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

    • We ended up going into Central London quite often but as I lived at home it didn't cause me too many problems at all.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
