    The Role

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

    • I definitely felt valued by my colleagues, especially by those who I worked closest with. There is generally a great deal of respect for interns in the company.

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

    • The support I received from my line manger was fantastic! I had regular meetings to discuss my progress and work load and ensure that at no point I felt overwhelmed. I could be confident that if I ever had any questions or concerns I could ask my line manager for advice and would always be listened to.

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

    • The nature of this role does mean that sometimes it can get busy, not just for myself, but for the whole team. However, when I did get busy, my manager made time to ensure that was given the support I needed to learn how to prioritise and work more efficiently.

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

    • I was progressively given a lot of responsibility during my placement which was great as it added new and varied experiences.

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

    • My placement has allowed me to develop a number of skills that have placed me in good stead for the future. The understanding of the inner workings of such a large organisation is already proving invaluable.

    The Culture

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

    • There were a few team social outings after work hours, which were great fun! Many of the interns would meet up frequently and tended to have a great social life.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I chose to live slightly out of the area and commute in, so I'm unsure of the exact cost of living in the area, however I don't think financially it would have made much difference. Socialisng can be expensive, however it depends on what your interests are.

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

    • There are some nice pubs in the area.

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

    • There are loads of opportunities to get involved in a number of activities if you want to!
