    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I've had a lot of fun at Intel and have been given a lot of opportunities. The culture and people are fantastic which makes it a great place to work.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was expecting to be treated like an intern (making coffees for big wigs or something) but people really value your input here. I had an awesome team too... every member was very supportive in my ideas and development throughout my time at Intel.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was extremely lucky as I had a manager and a mentor. My manager would give me very high level guidance where as my mentor would give me continuous support and was always there to answer any questions I had.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • This can vary considerably as it really depends on what you want to get out of your time here. During my first month I felt like there was a lack of work as my team likes to ensure that the intern can complete their core responsibilities to a very good standard. If you look to expand your role by exploring various projects you can become extremely busy but this type of work is optional.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a large amount of responsibility from designing and implementing events to managing one of our promotion programs. This is very dependant on project involvement and development as I had to gain a lot of trust to be given these types of responsibilities.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I worked very hard to gain as much experience here as I possibly could. I feel that I have improved a variety of skills and gained many attributes. Ultimately all my experience at Intel has allowed me to understand a focus and should be very valuable in supporting the next stage of my career.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Everyone at Intel is very friendly and willing to help.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • There is a crossover period between the new and old intern. Basically this means that the old intern will train the new intern for a month. My training was okay but your training will depend on your predecessor.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • There are loads of training courses that you can attend throughout the year. I would definitely suggest attending as some of these courses can be really helpful in improving certain skills. e.g. presenting, project planning etc.

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I think employment prospects are very vague as people will give you different answers. My personal opinion is that it's probably down to your performance and whether they have a position/ budget available.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There is a large intern community so there is always something going on plus your colleagues may occasionally invite you out.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Well I come from London so everything seems very cheap.

    5/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Old Town has nice bars and clubs. Also there are surrounding villages that have great pubs that occasionally have gigs.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • All the time! You'll receive regular emails inviting you to a variety of different types of events and activities.
