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

    • I don't thinik all skills and knowledge built can specifically assist in better preparing you for your studies.

    • The office varies in different areas. Some loud, some quiet. This also varies accross divisions.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • No specific structure, but a high level of exposure is available if you are willing to take charge.

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

    • The companies approach to development follows on the job training instead of extensive investment in their employees. This is a cost saver, but there is a large trade off.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The company is cutting jobs, but there is scope to change to different positions within the business. If you have certain skills, you will be highly desired, and therefore be an asset to the company.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • At times yes, but definitely not enough. I do think the company could have made more of an effort in order to run events, which would definitely increase the social scense amongst us interns, and of course develop our network.
