    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • A really great experience all round.

    5/5

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

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Loads of support and guidance on technical aspects of the job, the senior members were all very willing to take 5 minutes (or more!) to explain the work I would have to do and go through anything I didn't understand. They were very patient and there was no assumed knowledge which was wonderful as I was not coming from a 'relevant' degree.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Just the right amount of work, enough to do but not so much that I felt overwhelmed. Occasionally after completing some work there would be 10-20 minutes waiting for other jobs to come through, but I was never without something to keep me occupied for more than an hour.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Totally responsible for the work that I was given, but it was aways reviewed by a senior member of staff.

    3/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • 4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Very lively and lots of fun. Everyone was very friendly, welcomed me warmly and made me feel at home.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • A little disorganised as it was the first time that particular office had taken interns on, but the problems weren't so bad that it ruined my experience.

    3/5

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