    The Role

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

    • It was great. I enjoyed it a lot.

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

    • To a great extent. I was given responsibility from the outset.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Open door policy is exceptional. Everyone was willing to offer advice and guidance when asked.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was quite busy. However, no pressure is put on you to perform. It is up to the individual to take as much responsibility as he or she would like to take.

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

    • A lot. It is, I think, dependent on how eager you are in terms of how much you want to do. Coming in over the Brexit period made things a bit more frenetic than usual so I was able to dive right in.

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

    • To a large extent. It gave me quite a well-rounded idea as to what will be expected from me once I graduate with the relevant qualifications.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • An atmosphere of uncertainty was present due to Brexit, but to see how the company dealt with that was very interesting and informative and I would say it was a great atmosphere in which to learn.

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

    • It was very well structured and a great experience from start to finish.

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

    • To a large extent. We had numerous talks each week at great expense and effort on the part of the company, so there is no doubt that the company prioritises training and development of interns.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

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

    • Very. The structured support that is provided and the great scope that the company has in terms of services provided makes the prospect of working for JLL appealing to a new graduate that wants to learn about and his or her feet in the industry.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • It was very good. We had regular events and we were invited by our teams to drinks etc. I also joined the cricket team and we had a great time socialising after our weekly games. I also went to a number of lunches with directors that was great.

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

    • It is quite high in central London, however we were subsidised and all drinks and food was paid for.

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

    • It is amazing. Working around the corner from Soho in London says it all.

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

    • Yes. I was able to easily fit in with the cricket team and we were taken to the annual triathlon arranged by JLL which was great. There are numerous opportunities depending on one's interests.
