    The Role

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

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

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

    • A good amount for my first role in this sector. I was in charge of the content I produced but it was always checked if I was unsure.

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

    The Company

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

    • Friendly and welcoming. Not stressful, everyone got on with what they were doing and seemed like they were enjoying it. It made the whole experience more relaxed and enjoyable. There was always a friendly face to have a chat with on a break.

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

    • Very organised as I was working in a small team, everyone knew their duties and explained mine well to me.

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

    • I was briefed in depth on what to do and how to do it. I didn't feel like 'the new person' as I was thrown straight into it which was great. I think the company invested a lot in me.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Not what I want to do in the future but the company as a whole was brilliant and would be great if I was interested in that sector.

    4/5

    The Culture

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