    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Fantastic placement spent at Computacenter. I extended the length of this from 10 months to 13 months as I was taking so much away and learning a lot.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • My colleagues and peers made me feel valued and gave me a considerable amount of responsibility and coaching which aided my development.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My managers helped me to settle in and gain the most value out of the 13 months. The took me to senior leadership meetings and gave me exposure to meetings/people I didn't expect to be or meet.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • The responsibility of my day to day role grew over the time I was there and in no time at all I was doing the role of other members of the team. This kept me very busy but I was also given free reign to organise meetings with other departments within Computacenter where needed.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • The responsibility of my day to day role grew over the time I was there and in no time at all I was doing the role of other members of the team.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • It was a great atmosphere, busy environment and open door policy to senior management who were visible on a daily basis. This was apparent in both the London and Hatfield office.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The organisation and plan was great and the autonomy given to me also allowed me to venture to other areas of the business that wasnt planned.

    5/5

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There is a high number of placement students and graduates that are currently on the programme and those that have passed through. This builds a great community and social scene.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Comparing the salary to other programmes it was highly competitive. To live in London it is expensive but Computacenters salary gave me the best chance to ensure I could live comfortably.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • London speaks for itself really. The office is based near Waterloo and Southwark tube so ideal to getting into central.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There were oppourtunities to get involved but if Im honest there weren't as many sports teams as hoping, however games were still organised regularly.
