    The Role

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

    • I quite enjoyed it - it is a good experience for every student if you are ready to work hard and come out of your comfort zone.

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

    • As you are doing well, your colleagues want you to succeed and you feel this support. However, sometimes it is hard to treat managers like managers since we are all students.

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

    • There is support from management, but you should be willing to ask for it yourself. Do not expect them to come to you though

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

    • Very busy. No free time whatsoever, to be honest, until you wake up earlier.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • You are responsible for yourself in the field but you are not responsible how you are spending your time throughout the day.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills should be really really helpful in the future.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Lots of fun, intense at some times when you do something differently from what they want/expect you to do.

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

    • It was not organised perfectly: there were many times when everything was decided in the last minute but the overall general plan for the whole summer was set.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • They invested a lot of personal training in me since I was doing well. However, I don't think students who were not doing so well received the same amount of time and energy invested in them.

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

    • Financial Bonus

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

    • They are appealing since you can get management experience while you are still a student.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, the social part was fantastic,probably because all of us are students.

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

    • 55 pounds per week for accommodation so it was quite cheap.

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

    • The nightlife was quite good - I worked in Nottingham, but we didn't really have time and energy to go out much - twice during the whole summer probably.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There was a gym to which we all got involved in the beginning but in a few weeks we got so tired so we didn't go anymore.
