    The Role

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

    • In a non-customer facing role, I enjoyed working in a great team that allowed me to grow and improve at a comfortable pace. Very supportive and helpful.

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

    • The group values employees through a variety of schemes. But management was also good at giving out praise where it was due and constructive criticism where necessary.

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

    • 100% guidance through the steep learning curve at the start of the placement, they were very open to questions and were very focused on development.

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

    • There was always some work to do. Our team runs daily jobs that take up and hour every morning. And then we would be completing ad-hoc jobs and towards the end we were very busy completing a project that was going all the way up to the directors.

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

    • I was given freedom to take control of anything that was within my ability. I was allowed a lot of independent work when I became comfortable with the role.

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

    • I took time away from my course to take this role and it doesn't directly feed into my studies but the soft skills I gained this year are worth a lot for my final year.
