    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I enjoyed my placement year a great deal. I feel like I learned a great deal and had a lot of fun meeting all the interns as well as permanent members of staff.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I really felt like a valued member of staff. As soon as joined the team I was welcomed and given a huge amount of responsibility. Everyone made me feel like I was not an intern, but an important part of the team.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was given a lot of support from the management team and felt that that they were very supportive and helpful with any issues I had.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • My role was fairly varied in terms of how busy. This was because my main role focused around events which were not on all the time. This meant that I could have weeks where I was not quite as busy and weeks where it was full on and tough. I personally liked this balance but it may not be for everyone.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given lots of responsibility throughout the year. I had to talk to and face customers on a regular basis during events. Also for some events I took a leading role and had a huge amount of responsibility.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • This year has helped me immensely and will definitely help me in future life. I feel that this year could help me just as much as my placement as it has helped my prepare for my future career.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The atmosphere in our department was very relaxed. As a lot of people work from home it can be quite empty, however it was still a very enjoyable place to work due to the people who were in.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The placement was well organised. Especially considering the hiring process was conducted by fellow interns. I felt there was often something exciting going on and during the onbording process we were given a thorough overview.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • We were given a good amount of training at the start of the year, as well as additional training once we had started. I feel like the company felt like we were a valuable asset to the company.

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Although there is no specific graduate role in our department, there are lots of opportunities to come back to SAP. Many of my co-workers were previous interns and if you do well there is a good chance to come back.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • As there were 30 interns at SAP we had a lot of good parties and nights out. London was not to far away however it was a bit of an effort to get back from after a night out. All in all there was a good social scene.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • London is a fairly expensive place to live and therefore it was not particularly cheap. Some nights out outside London were cheaper but still a lot more than some places outside of the capital.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • London obviously has an incredible nightlife but getting there and back could be challenging. All in all there were a lot of options and there is something for everyone.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • As I lived locally before I was already part of some clubs in the area. However there are lots of local sports clubs and potential activities that were easy to get involved in.

    4/5
