    The Role

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

    • Quite enjoyable. I was put into a role that I felt fit my experience and challenged me to learn.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Colleagues willingly took the time to explain new concepts, which was very kind of them.

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

    • Manager was very supportive and frequently answered my questions or offered advice on the next step I should take when encountering a problem. Was also very friendly and made me feel welcome in the team.

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

    • Quite busy. I usually have set goals for the day and I try to finish them, regardless of what time I leave the office because of that.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • More than I expected, which was a nice surprise. The project I was working on would directly impact the company in some way down the line. It felt nice seeing parts of my work being put into use.

    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 ability to analyse data methodologically was something I picked up at University, and refined everyday during the internship. Overall I'd say it'll be quite useful, including skills like communication and just all around socialising with others.

    3/5

    • 3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    3/5

    • Definitely would come back if offered the chance.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Everyone was very friendly and it was easy to talk to fellow interns. The few social events organised was also a good chance to socialise with interns that I would normally not see.

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

    • Fairly expensive. Lunch was a good £8 everyday.

    3/5

    3/5
