    The Role

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

    • I had an excellent time. The only criticism is their method of offering graduate jobs at the end.

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

    • My team and I got on extremely well and they certainly tried to make my time enjoyable.

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

    • My manager was always busy but was always willing to answer my questions.

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

    • Work hours were from 8:30 to 6:30, which were perfect to me.

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

    • I was given more important responsibilities towards the end, after I'd had more knowledge.

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

    • Training was minimal, but the knowledge gained from the internship would be helpful in future career.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • It depends on the team.

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

    • It was well organised in general. They could have improved by setting up the computer system before we arrived. It hindered some interns' work a lot.

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

    • There was little training. There was certainly development from doing tasks and being shown how to do them.

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

    • Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Didn't get the graduate job offer so will not be able to start the graduate scheme but perhaps later on.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • Some of us met up for drinks after work about once a week.

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

    • Canary Wharf is not expected to be cheap.

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

    • Apart from bars after work, there is little else.

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

    • There was a volunteering day, a dragon boat race and talks from speakers.
