    • The job role offered the variety in tasks that I was looking for which meant no day was the same

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

    • I was like any other member of the team and building up trust meant my responsibility increased throughout the year

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

    • I had regular a 1:1 scheduled with my manager to discuss anything I was currently involved in as well as any other issues. The managers are very approachable and were keen to support my personal development over the year.

    5/5

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

    • As the year progressed my responsibility increased and I have plenty of examples where I was given the autonomy to make important decisions, present my own ideas and solely manage campaigns.

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

    • My year of Placement at SAP has been invaluable and I can anticipate my newly gained knowledge will translate into a better understanding of business, beneficial for my degree and in later life.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone is very friendly and approachable in the office. Although there is a corporate aspect, socializing is easy to come by.

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

    • Support is easily accessible if needed and interns are given the freedom to set up their own societies/opportunities within the company and it's partners. One of the best aspects is that the recruitment process is managed by interns and therefore grants another experience to be gained.

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

    • Interns are included in all invitations to training that any other employee would have access. It is up to the intern to be proactive and accept those opportunities.

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The sales academy is open to all interns and having gained a year of experience works in largely in our favor. Future employment prospects within other departments however is down to the relative manager and current head count.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • A community of 34 interns is ideal as it means you can get to know everyone! Everyone is like-minded and is under the mentality of 'work hard, play hard'.

    5/5

    3/5
