    The Role

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

    • The placement was not what I was expecting and not a business area I have any prior experience in, so I learned a lot during my placement.

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

    • My colleagues were very friendly, helpful and grateful for the work I was doing with/for them.

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

    • My line manager was on holiday for two and a half weeks out of the ten weeks I was there, so I didn't get as much guidance as I may have.

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

    • It was very varied on how much work I had to do- some weeks I would be working solidly and others I would struggle to find anything to do apart from picking up od jobs for other colleagues.

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

    • During the start of my placement I was given a section of our project to look after, however once that had been completed there were not very many tasks I could do which held much responsibility.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The placement does not have very much relevance to my degree, however I have developed some valuable skills which are very transferable, such as advanced functions in Microsoft EXCEL.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere in the office was great. The perfect balance between friendly and fun as well as hardworking and professional.

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

    • The placement scheme is very well organised, however, my individual placement was not planned which means there has been periods of time where I am left with very little work.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There was very little investment in training and developing my skills during the time on my placement

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

    • 2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • There is a fantastic opportunity to enrol onto the grad scheme with them

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • The first day was a conference in London where we sat on tables of other interns in our offices/areas. This was a great opportunity to get to know the other fellow interns and through out the placement we have become close and meet up a lot outside of work.

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

    • The costs were very manageable

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

    • The nightlife was good- even midweek there are plenty of places to go for a few drinks after work

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

    • We all got involved and did quite a lot outside of work but it was all arranged by ourselves and not by the placement
