    The Role

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

    • IT was very good and informative; an eye opener into the everyday tasks of an auditor.

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

    • I had a very good mentor to begin with who bestowed me with responsibilities and tasks from the beginning. After he had left for his holiday break though I had less to do.

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

    • All of the tasks assigned to me were clearly explained beforehand and throughout.

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

    • I was busy for the first half of the internship buy after my mentor left for holiday I was not reassigned properly.

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

    • I was given enough responsibility to make me feel that I was beneficial to the company.

    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 learnt about auditing, however the skills it developed were no different to any other job I have done and I study engineering so it has no effect on this.

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • IT was professional and had a feeling of efficiency as well as camaraderie.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Poorly, it only sets you up with one mentor who was very helpful, but when he left for holiday reassignment was very difficult due to it being a quiet part of the auditing year.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The company were good at this and fairly attentive at organising development sessions.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Working from home
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Yes, the job was fairly desirable although I was rejected at the end of my internship.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, they made sure to organise events towards the beginning but maybe could have organised an event at the end of the internship.

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

    • It's expensive, it's London. The jobs pay well though.

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

    • There's a lot going on in London, the 24 hr tube makes thing a bit easier as well.

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

    • I think so however I was not there long enough to get exposed to this.

    4/5
