    The Role

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

    • I think Mindshare is the ideal place to start your career, there is a lot of training and opportunities to develop professional skills. The people also make it a lovely environment to work in.

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

    • People in my team were very friendly and supportive, I felt like my opinions mattered when I delivered my work. It was nice to get continuous feedback throughout the year on my performance.

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

    • I was given enough to make me able to do the work, but there was room left my my personal growth and judgement which really helped me develop

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

    • Because I didn't work on one specific client, my days and weeks varied in terms of workload, but it was generally a very good balance.

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

    • Not a lot from the start, but once I felt confident about what I was doing I completely took over some of the monthly reports and was put in charge of smaller projects

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

    • I think the skills I have developed during my placement will absolutely help me in the future, both in my degree and career. The software skills in particular are invaluable.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • There is a perfect balance between work and play, people in the office generally seem relaxed and optimistic. As long as you do what you're supposed to, work is a great place to be!

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

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

    • There was so much training going on each month! So many companies coming in to tell us about new tools, trends sessions, our inter-department show-and-tells, M factor (a week-long training programme), etc etc.. You get a lot of opportunities to learn new stuff.

    5/5

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events

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

    • I would absolutely love to come back, and my manager said they would love to have me back once I've completed my degree.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • It was great, we had a whole bunch of new interns and grads starting at the same time, so work seemed a bit like uni in terms of socializing - one of the best things about this company are the people.

    5/5
