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

    • I thoroughly enjoyed my internship and looked forward to going to work.

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

    • I felt very valued by colleagues, I didn't feel like an intern I felt like a normal employee and wasn't treated any differently because I was an intern.

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

    • My manager was very supportive. He was always available to answer questions and took the time to explain things to me. He also ensured we had a weekly meetings and time to discuss how things were going. He was also supportive towards my personal development finding projects/opportunities that suited me and what I wanted to acheive.

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

    3/5

    • I was given projects which I had complete ownership for and was able to put my name on and take full responsibility for.

    5/5

    • Most of the skills I have learnt are transferable for every day life and some will benefit my degree.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The office is very relaxed and calm. People are allowed to chat to one another, eat and use mobile phones. The office wasn't fun.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The initial communication about my intership (location, start date, accomodation) was excellent. The organisation once I arrived on the first day could have been improved as it took 5 days for me to have my own PC/laptop and email access.

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

    • My manager helped my personal training and development a lot, the company didn't invest anything into my development.

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

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

    • The graduate scheme is very appealing

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was no social scene amongst fellow colleagues. There was a good social scene amongst fellow interns but that is because they organised things between them outside of work.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The company paid for my accomodation so there was no cost for living appart from food and travel. Travel was extremely cheap, £80 a month for unlimited bus and rail travel. Socialising was as cheap/expensive as you wanted it to be, Leeds is so big that there are lots of thigns to do.

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

    • Great!

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

    • Nothing
