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

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

    • A good amount of guidance was given in the work I was set and support was always available if I had any questions.

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

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Casual atmosphere.

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

    • Very well organised, I came across no problems with the internship set up and everything was explained clearly from start to finish.

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

    • Personal development goals were set at the start of the internship and discussed throughout through weekly catch ups with my line manager. Since I was only there for 10 weeks there wasn't enough time to train as thoroughly as the placement year students did.

    4/5

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

    • Very friendly, welcoming place to work.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I lived at home rather than the shared accommodation so did not get involved in much of the social scene, however those that did live together did a lot.

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

    • I was in London so obviously travel and food is fairly expensive but I was living at home so this wasn't really a problem.

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

    • There are obviously many clubs/bars in London so nightlife is good.

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

    • Lots of charity fundraising activities, these involved charity runs and quizzes. They also run Pilates classes at the office I was working in.
