    The Role

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

    • It is definitely worth going on a placement as the experience, what I learned, and the benefits were uncountable and worthy compared to just going onto your final year.

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

    • On my first day a few of the lads took me out for a welcome lunch and made me feel really welcome and part of the team and it continued that way throughout.

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

    • I had bi-weekly meetings with my manager to talk about how I was doing and any problems. On any day he was just a knock on the office door away if I needed help.

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

    • The work was so enjoyable that the day flew by and I was so invested and immersed in my work that I was always working my best on a project.

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

    • After a few provisional months I was given the task of being a key member and contributor of a new campaign to be launched that winter. This was a huge honour!

    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 skills I learnt have definitely helped me in the job I am doing now.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Great working environment and I loved the job so I tried to have as much fun as I could!

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

    • The HR team is excellent and the placement was set up faultlessly.

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

    • I was offered courses and got to attend crucial meetings which was valuable and so informative.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I did apply for their graduate scheme but as it turned out I got another job offer which was more convenient so reluctantly had to decline the graduate scheme.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were two other lads who I became good mates with and I got pally with a fair few of the lads already working there

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

    • Compared to up north where I grew up I found the south to be expensive and I got a lot less for my money which was surprising and depressing at the same time.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I am a party kind of guy and so I tried to get as much as I could with the lads but I wasn't too impressed with the nightlife. Up north is much better (and friendlier) for partying!

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I played in football, basketball and tennis matches with a few of the lads.
