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

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

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

    • Very busy but in a good way as it enabled me to gain a great insight to the industry and also made time seem as though it was flying by for my working day.

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

    • A surprising lot more than I anticipated as I was left in charge of certain aspects of the build than were minor in the grand scale of things but valuable none the less and if I was to make a mistake it would have impacted the build.

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

    • I learnt a whole lot more than I could sat in a lecture on my placement and a lot of the experiences on site have already given me a great standing and help with coursework's that have been handed out.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • A good laugh and great craic with colleagues but obviously work has to be done to a deadline so a great balance.

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

    • There wasn't so much of a structure for my summer placement but the people on site more than compensated for this by always providing work for me to do.

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

    • Investing in me both monetarily as well as time as they are more than willing to give their time for any questions or queries I have or have had in the past.

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

    • Travel loan
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • If I can maintain or improve my grades then there is employment with the company after my degree.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • I was close friends to a person that is on the same course as me in university that definitely eased the transition into the working world as I didn't feel like an outcast so to speak.

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

    • A popular and fairly large city so not cheap but not as expensive as say London.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I live locally and sometimes have nights out etc. to the area I worked in and I know from personal experience it is incredibly varied with something for everyone.

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

    • Plenty of activities available to participate in.
