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

    • I was the project manager for two projects with projected cost saving of half a million pounds, so I'd say they treat you like anyone else!

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

    • The skills I learned a GE directly contributed to getting a graduate placement with another company. It really jump started my career

    • The office is pretty quite as many people work from home

    3/5

    • We had intern representatives who handled most of the setup and we could use them for any advise/support

    5/5

    • I went on my first business trip which was to audit a data center & I was offered over $3000 of internal training

    5/5

    Working from home

    Healthcare/Dental
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Sometimes seems easier to move out then back in to progress rather than following development reviews etc, but that's true with many companies

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • We did some things but infrequently

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London is very, very expensive! You get this with any job here though, so to be expected!

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The site we work at is in the middle of nowhere, so pretty non-existent

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • We get volunteering days and a committee for volunteering where we went to do many things, laying a wood-chip path to walking dogs.

    5/5
