    The Role

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

    • It wasn't bad getting some work experience. However, you were just left to do your own thing at your desk for 2 months. Hardly the ideal internship

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • People are quite stuck up and judgemental. They did help when asked but did not seem they enjoyed helping at all

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I got some constructive feedback in my last day. That is it

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • As busy as I wanted to be

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • None

    1/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • As I said, it was good to get some work experience and get a taste of what life is like in the office. But the work was barely intellectually stimulating

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • People barely talked to each other and would keep a huge distance between each other. it had to do with the safety and impersonal culture of the firm

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Clear timetable given from the very beginning

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

    • I guess they hired me and gave me some work experience. that's it

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym
