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

    • Being a small company I was able to get to know everyone. All of my colleagues were a pleasure to work with.

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

    • Guidance was always given when needed by management. Again, being a small company guidance was available from all departments and just not my own.

    5/5

    • Being a small growing business there were constant new projects to keep me busy and working hard. I never felt like my workload was too much.

    4/5

    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 feel that my skills have vastly improved during my placement. However, the training given was more specific to the company itself.

    • There is a general friendly atmosphere around the office.

    4/5

    1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • As a small growing business with plenty of exciting oppertunities I would be glad to work for ProspectSoft again.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Plenty of oppertunities to go out although a lot of other placements strayed home most weekends.

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

    • The cost of living nearby was good.

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

    • I thought the nightlife was poor. One poor club and a few small bars. Student nights were good but not a good idea during the week.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Plenty of oppertunities to socialise at the pub and play football with colleagues. A little effort and pestering is required
