    The Role

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

    • Really great range of projects, wonderful team. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

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

    • The projects I was given were meaningful. They made sure I knew what deadlines I had and the consequence of not meeting them.

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

    • At Bae you're given mentors, line managers, and a manager. There are plenty of people to ask for anything.

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

    • Very busy until the last two weeks of placement. Which is understandable at a defence company. They didn't want to get me involved with anything and then have to leave.

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

    • Responsibility was in my hands. Most of the projects were reliant on me, others I was just a member helping others. But I still had deliverables.

    5/5
