    The Role

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

    • Everyone at the company was really welcoming and I was given a large variety of different assignments during my placement

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

    • At times I actually felt that I had contributed to a project and that made me feel valued

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

    • Whenever I needed assistance with something my manager was there to help me

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

    • I was fairly busy, and with it being the low season there were not always jobs to be done but it was very easy to go and ask people if they needed assistance and more often than not they were very helpful in finding something for me to do

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

    • I actively took part in projects and was given entrusted with completing tasks that contributed to the overall project

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • My presentation skills increased massively during the placement, just from witnessing many presentations whilst there and also taking part in a few myself. I think also that my business etiquette has been greatly improved

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone was really friendly and approachable in the office, regardless of their grade

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

    • The whole placement was very well set up for me, and each of my departments had planned what I would be doing very well

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

    • Considering that I was only on a 7 week placement I think that the company invested a relatively large amount of time and money into training and personal development. We spent a week at the start of the placement on training and this was really useful for later on, not just in terms of training but also getting to know other people on the placement

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

    • Sports and Social Club

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • There's a lot of scope within the organisation and I think that you can pretty much get you want out of the opportunities there

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • A lot of my fellow interns and I spent many evenings each week doing acitivites together like going to the gym, cinema or pub. There was a really good atmosphere on the scheme

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

    • Obviously living in London is expensive, but the scheme was well paid and this meant that you could afford to go and do things

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

    • It's London

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

    • The company has many social and sports clubs, and this offered a massive variety to choose from. Add these to the departmental events and there's plenty for someone to do in the company
