    The Role

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

    • I made the most of every opportunity due to this I ensured that I enjoyed my 12 month placement.

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

    • My team were highly supportive and very kind.

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

    • I was given plenty of support by my manager.

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

    • There were days when I was crazy busy, but there were also days were I didn't have much to do. You have to take the initiative to be proactive in order to get the most out of your placement.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was treated as an equal. I was given real responsibility from day 1. I have chaired meetings with important clients and have taken on my own projects.

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

    • The world-of-work is something which can't be taught, it must be experienced. I have grown as a confident, competent and mature individual, ready to embrace the "real world" after graduation.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Corporate yet casual. I was based in Crewe (near Manchester), everyone is professional and friendly.

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

    • It could have been set up with a little bit more organisation, as at some points there wasn't much to do.

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

    • Everyone has to do mandatory training when you start. On top of this, if there is a course relevant to your internship, if you have a valid business case behind it, your manager may approve this.

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

    • Working from home
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The IT Industry is an ever evolving industry. There is much to look forward to and opportunities arising every other day.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • As Crewe is a very quiet town, everyone usually went home on the weekends. Sometime during the week the grads and interns would come together and go to the nearby pub.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Crewe is quite inexpensive in my opinion. Originally coming from Birmingham, I found Crewe to be a lot cheaper in rent and day-t-day living. However, because I did travel on weekends, as there isn't much to do in Crewe, this did bump up my expenditure.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife is non-existent in Crewe. There is a nearby village where the nightlife is a little bit better. However, Manchester isn't too far from Crewe (about 40 mins on the train).

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

    • Not many. For Halloween, Christmas, Red Nose day and any other "holidays" there was the occasional pub quiz or drinks after work, apart from that nothing else.

    3/5
