    The Role

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

    • It was a really enjoyable day! There were lots of tasks, so it was never boring.

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

    • There was a large team-work element on the Insight Day, so everyone did get involved and most people did value each others ideas. However, occasionally some people did not listen to others, if they thought their own idea was better.

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

    • There was enough support, so that we didn't feel isolated, but not too much to prevent us from developing our ideas on our own.

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

    • Plenty to do, but now unrealistic timing issues.

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

    • We were split into smaller groups, so we did have responsibilty for completing the task efficiently.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • It was a really good day, which will help me greatly in the future.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • People were enthusiastic about the project and there was a good atmosphere.

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

    • The day was really well planned. The organisers had obviously spent a lot of time preparing the day and it did help the day to run very smoothly.

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

    • We were given individual feedback, which was helpful for personal development.

    4/5

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Healthcare/Dental
    0/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I would like to think that the day has assisted my work prospects with the company, but I realise it is very competitive.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • People did get on well with each other, but as it was only one day, there was no opportunity to socialise.

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

    • Not applicable. I didn't have to buy anything in the area.

    0/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Not applicable. We didn't stay to experience the nightlife.

    0/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Not applicable. The insight was only one day.
