    The Role

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

    • I rate this 'Best Job Ever' (partly because it was my first job). I liked the environment, the atmosphere. If I could turn back time I would definitely apply again for this internship.

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

    • Well, there is nothing 'like family' (at least for me). But working with another (only) four people on the project and being seven persons in the office helped us to get to know each other very quickly.

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

    • We had daily stand-ups, weekly status chats in which we could ask for help, give indications. Also my supervisor was available for chats or clarifications almost any time of the day.

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

    • The pace was good and I dind't feel very tired even after longer days. Occasionally I found myself waiting for other tasks to finish before I could continue my work.

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

    • I started with simpler tasks. Then, both simpler and complex tasks have been assigned to me.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I don't really know if the technical skills that I acquired here will assist me in my degree studies but they will definitely assist me beyond. Also, the social and time management skills that I acquired by being an intern will help me on my way.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Small team = a lot of fun, at least in this case.

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

    • The details of the project that I worked on were not all clear, but we successfully followed the plan that was present to me at the start of the internship.

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

    • All my coworkers were eager to help me in any way they could. We had some books available to study. We had access to the company's own wiki with stuff on both general topics and specific ones.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Company Parties/Events
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The current situation of the company is not suitable for hiring, but further collaboration is expected.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • We were two interns (both students) in the same office.

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

    • I stay in the student dormitories of University Politechnica of Bucharest so the cost of living (in my case) is very affordable. There is a variety of places you can drink or eat both cheap and expensive.

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

    • I am active at night only on very special occasions. From what I heard, there are a lot of places were you can have good time at night.

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

    • We often play games during the lunch break. We went bowling one time.
