    The Role

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

    • Enjoyed a 6 week internship in Tax. Would definitely recommend it.

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

    • I felt valued and made a contribution. However, as I am not qualified, the tasks I could do were limited which is understandable.

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

    • Allocated a people manager and a buddy. Resourcers are also there to support you. Very friendly and always there to help and answer any questions.

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

    • Some days I was busy but other days I didn't have much on due to the nature of the work. Find the initiative to ask colleagues if they need any help or due some online training.

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

    • Was given adequate responsibility.

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

    • Great experience, definitely looks good on your CV and gives you a lot to talk about in interviews.

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

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • As the internship was only 6 weeks, didn't do too much but people did organise a few things.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Average for London (expensive!). Rent £700 a month. I could walk to work so saved on transport costs.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • A few bars around but not great

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
