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

    • If i asked for support, i was given it, it was never thrown onto me, i was left to do my own thing which i really enjoyed and gave me a sense of maturity and purpose.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I made myself extremely busy and it was very fun and challenging working on the project at hand.

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

    • I was given the task, along with another intern, of developing a plugin from scratch for Unreal Engine that exported a scene into a specific file type. This made me feel responsible for increasing the workflow of our team, and it spurred me on to work harder.

    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 already had acquired programming skills and debugging skills from previous work, however the most invaluable skill that i picked up and developed over my time here was managing a big task in a team.

    The Company

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

    • It was really good fun, without detracting from work.

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

    • Arm definitely have great experience with handling Interns as it showed with the way things were setup. Very well organised by the Talent Acquisition team.

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

    • I feel like everyone is truly treated equally in this company, and that this shouldn't make me feel more or less invested in than the next person. The company do care about each and every one of us, so i would feel bad giving this category a 10 star as it might carry implications that i feel i was invested in more.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events

    Working from home

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

    • The idea of returning to Arm is extremely appealing to me!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • The social scene was incredibly good here, everyone in Arm are just normal people doing extraordinary things. Really friendly people and i have grown to admire a lot of the people i've met here. Definitely will seek to be keeping in contact with them.

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

    • My parents live in Cambridge, so it was very easy for me financially.

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

    • I have lived in Cambridge my whole life, so as far as nightlife goes: it isn't great here, but i find it amazing as i always bump into old friends and catch up with them! So i do thoroughly enjoy it, but couldn't recommend it to others.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were a few things on along the way.
