    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really enjoyed my placement at SAP as I got to work with so many people from different parts of the business. There was also a very large intern community which helped especially when we first started.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • My work was highly valued as I was doing the same job as my senior colleagues and there were tasks that I only knew how to do, So before I would go on holidays I would have to teach it to one of my colleagues as they could not going without the reports I produced.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was given a buddy (mentor) at the beginning of my placement that would be there to help me achieve what I wanted to achieve out of my placement. We would have regular meetings to assess my progress and discuss any issues I was having.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given alot of responisibility as I was doing tasks that were the same as my senior colleagues. Some reports that I would produce would be used in senior gobal meetings.

    5/5

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

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Quarter end would always be a tense time in the office but during the other periods it is quite a quiet place to work in and everyone is consistently busy.

    3/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I feel that it was very well organised especially since it was organised by interns. Although I do feel that we should have had quarterly meetings with HR so that if we felt as a community that something needed to be improved on , that it would actually happen.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • We all had to complete mandatory training at the beginning of the year and whenever there was a change in the company there would be comference calls so we are all aware of the changes, But the business did not monitor our development.
