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

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

    • Plenty, there were a few occasions where I had been given work to do independently, not wise to how important it actually was and finding out once it had been handed in.

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

    • Many skills were learnt that will be transferreable into roles further down the line within the company.

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

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

    • Massively appealing! I knew I wanted to work for this organisation from the Assessment centre onwards. The enormity of the company and how successful it is can only add to that.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Intern facebook group set up so was always aware of goings on. Also if you were living in the accomodation offered during the internship with the other interns you would experience it even more! Unfortunately I didnt stay there as I lived close by anyway.

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

    • I believe the cost of staying in the accomodation offered (which was in university halls) was about £100 a week. In terms of social life, the Derby area has plenty of cheap bars, bit of a walk though from where the accomodation is based.

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

    • Plenty of bars, not sure about clubs, Derby isnt renound for its clubs...Nottingham is near though and thats brilliant!

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There was the opportunity to join the Apprentice and Graduate Association which organised plenty of activities!
