    The Role

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

    • Brilliant placement. Huge responsibility in the role with huge trust being placed in our ability- motivates you to perform to as high a level as possible.

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

    • My colleagues have been great from the start and are saying they're gutted I'll be leaving shortly which is always a nice thing to hear!

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

    • Guidance and support was always given when asked for. Proactive developmental advice and guidance could be better.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Workload inevitably fluctuates however generally the working day was full.

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

    • For a student, I've been given a tremendous amount of responsibility. If I make a mistake, we could be out of stock in one or more of six markets across a range of brands and products which is terrifying! Again, it only acts as a motivator to perform to the best of my ability.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills learnt will help in all aspects of my future, particularly in the workplace post-university. I've learnt a rane of different things that I would never have considered necessary in the workplace and is something that is not taught at uni.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Casual, cheerful and generally light hearted. People often laughing and joking while getting on with our daily routines.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • From start to finish the placement has been well structured with clear direction. The handover I received was long and unstructured which is my main problem with my placement however this was not down to the overall organisation of the placement itself.

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

    • I recieved little in the way of official training/development however my senior management have made huge amounts of information available to me for my own development.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very. I'm currently in the process of finalising an application for a European graduate position in Zug,

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Couldn't have asked for a better group of people to live and work with.

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

    • Living costs were good, socialising is more expensive but obviously it depends how often you socialise!

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

    • Maidenhead is poor, however Reading and London are very accessible which are both brilliant.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Not all that much on offer however company cricket is something I got heavily involved in
