    The Role

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

    • The internship was very insightful and well organised. The staff worked hard to sure I was kept busy and got to see a range of work.

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

    • In my first rotation I felt very valued as it was a small team. In my second rotation, less so, but it was a larger team with less contact with each individual.

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

    • Everyone was very good at providing answers to questions. We had a solid support team made up of manager, supervisor, buddy.

    3/5

    • Very well organised.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • A fair amount, we benefited from VAT training and catch ups before each piece of work. However, I feel a lot of information was skimmed over and not consolidated.

    3/5

    • Company Parties/Events

    Above 25 days holiday

    Working from home
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very appealing. It is a very good company to work for. The people are lovely and it is very inviting. It just depends whether the work is suited for you.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Reasonably amongst the graduates in my team. Certain social events were organised within each team. There was opportunity to get involved as much or as little as you wanted. However, there lacked organisation for social events for the interns which would have allowed us to get to know each other better.

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

    • Very expensive - London. If you live in university halls - roughly £2000 or the 6 weeks. I rented from a friend and payed £150 a week.

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

    • Great - lots happening in London and plenty to choose from.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes although I didn't explore them
