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

    • I was given responsibility like I was a graduate engineer. I had to become familiar with software all the other engineers used.

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

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The office environment was a great atmosphere. People were willing to share ideas with others. I particularly enjoyed the fruits given to staff on a Monday morning.

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

    • It was relatively good but there were times when my supervisors didn't have work for me to do. This was because of the projects being worked on during my placement so I don't believe my supervisors could help the situation.

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

    • I got to use the ARUP University page to complete training courses in my own time.

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

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

    • I would like to return to the company once I've completed my degree programme.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Friday afternoon drinks in the common area was a great way to meet colleagues.

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

    • Relatively cheap as I was working in the Yorkshire region.

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

    • I didn't go out much but I've heard it's a great city for night outs.
