    5/5

    • A lot of variation. One extreme to another.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Got much better as the year went on.

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

    • Pretty good, however there is a lot of emphasis on yourself to organise most things.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was unfortunate in that I was a team member down for 9 of the 12 months on placement, so work-load restricted training & development etc.

    2/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Only take on 2 graduates every other year. Very rarely recruit externally, extremely difficult to get a job within the organisation.

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • Great mix of current students and a large number of full-time employees get involved in social activities.

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

    • It can be as cheap or expensive as you want to make it.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Lived in Reading - good night out. Not many other good options nearby though.

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

    • I was lucky enough to work at a large number of events; Motorbike Show, Ryder Cup, Goodwood Revival & Festival of Speed, PGA Event at Wentworth etc.
