    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I was made to feel extremely welcome and valued.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I never felt like a placement student, I was always treated like any other employee and got involved in team meetings, meals, etc.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Excellent support and guidance by my manager, who was as committed to my personal development as I was. I was pushed to challenge myself, and this allowed me to get the most out of my placement.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • The great thing about my role was that as well as having my set day-to-day tasks to complete I was given the opportunity to take part in as many other projects as I could handle.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given as much responsibility as could be expected of someone who wasn't qualified.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • During my placement all the skills that I have gained during previous work experience rolls along with a great many more have been advanced far further than I could have foreseen.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Very friendly which helped me get settled in straight away. Everyone at the company works hard but also understands that it is a team effort.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Extremely organised. I spent time within a range of teams in the department, which I felt gave me the best overall understanding of the department and the types of work I could potentially get involved in, if accepted onto the graduate training program.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Regular presentations, training from out supervisors and even a half day negotiation workshop meant that the level of investment was high.

    4/5

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

    Subsidised Canteen

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Everyone wanted the training contract offer after the scheme.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • The industrial placements, graduates and business apprentices all encouraged to socialise and support each other.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Fairly expensive place to go out.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • A nice place to go out, there are plenty of bars and clubs and if your feeling adventurous it is easy to get into London.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • If there is not already something being organised by some one you can organise something yourself. There are always company wide emails being sent round asking who is interested in doing some sort of activity.

    4/5
