    The Role

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

    • The placement is good, I'd of enjoyed the placement more had I been able to see more of the business rather then confined to my department.

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

    • Throughout the year my responsibilities increased, in turn I felt more valued by my colleagues..

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Managers/Supervisors are busy people, so it can be hard to schedule anytime to ask for support or guidance. That being said Vauxhall do a 'mentor' scheme however this hasn’t worked out so well as often mentors dent always have the time to meet. Often mentors are in a different area of the business and may not fully understand your requirements..

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

    • The start of the placement my work load was very limited, it has since increased by larger amounts and as a result I often stay beyond my working hours.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I found that the final 5 months of my placement the responsibility I had been given had risen greatly, I now manage various projects.

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

    • 4/5

    The Company

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

    • I can only speak on behalf of the marketing department but it was fantastic! a real positive vibe!

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

    • Would improve mentor system and would set up a programme that would allow interns/undergrads the opportunity to talk to various people within the business - maybe shadow certain managers and improve our understanding of all areas of the business (commercial awareness).

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

    • Could be more training programmes run etc., but this cost time and money so i can understand why a firm would be wary of doing this..

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • The organisation does encourage and allow people to progress through its ranks.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Cant fault the social aspect! Plenty of undergrads and lots to do.

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

    • Again we are so close to London but the price is relatively low so no complaints.

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

    • Not great, but its about the company you keep. There are so many undergrads at Vauxhall so alot going on.

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

    • Yes, but not necessarily the type of activities a young 18-25 year old would want to do. Read into that what you will.

    4/5
