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

    • Experience in talking to people, AGILE methods of development, and what a big company is like. Not going to help with the degree, but will with job searching.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • I find its too cramped there- I realize it's a big company and a lot of people need to call people from all over the world, but it's loud. I felt lonely and uncomfortable so surrounded by people.

    1/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Events were not set up well at all. Work was set up well a thte start until they ran out of things to give me.

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

    • I really don't want to work here- Many of the interns I've talked to have loved it, but this isn't where I want to end up.

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • All anyone wants to talk about is their work or brag about their universities at lunch. Other than that they go out drinking, but I'm teetotal so that wasn't for me. I haven't made friends here.

    1/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • It's Glasgow- The salary they give you is more than you need for rent etc.

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

    • Don't know, don't drink.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Interns organized pub crawls etc between themselves over facebook, and there were three nights out.
