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

    • My manager and a couple of colleagues have made an effort, other haven't. I do sometimes feel there are colleagues who will be happy when I leave.

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

    • [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] has been great and tried to include me, give me work, allowed me to travel, and advised activities to get involved in.

    The Company

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

    • Good people seem to get on well in the office. It's a bit more serious than I am used to. Social activities appear not to be on the agenda.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It could have been better. As far as I am aware the team should have had a project for me to take possession of on arrival and this was not the case. The team are really too busy to accompany a new intern through multiple tasks. Most things I have done I have organised myself, which I am happy to do however I feel if I had been more occupied on a day to day basis then I wouldn't have felt I needed to organise going out so much.

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

    • The firm offers a lot on the whole and I am happy that I have been able to take advantage of them such as a service excellence workshop.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • This is not the place for me and I am not the right sort of person for this role.

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • yes we meet regularly.

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

    • Average. More expensive than home though.

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

    • Bristol is great!

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