    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed working with my team but at times the company culture feels a bit dull.

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

    • During my placement I was working on projects that directly impacted the business in various countries. Due to my nature of work I felt extremely valued by my team.

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

    • My manager offered me support when I needed it, this gave me freedom to work on projects how I saw fit. This was extremely ideal for me but may not work for someone who lacks confidence in their skill.

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

    • The workload at Sony is unstable, at times you're extremely busy but at other times there's not much at all. However, you can always find something to get done.

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

    • Throughout my placement I was woking on impactful project which impacted many Sony employees throughout Europe.

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

    • The skills I've learned will heavily assist me in future jobs but not so much in my university degree. I've learned how to put university skills into practise rather than improving them.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • It depends on your department, the more finance related the less relaxed

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

    • 3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The first few weeks are littered with training. However, my manager offered support throughout my placement as you gain most skills from doing.

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

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

    • 3/5

    The Culture

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

    • As the travel in Surrey is limited it's a bit difficult to go to other places.

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

    • The wages just about cover living and socialising but the lack of a sign-on fee means you'll need an overdraft or previous savings to dip into.

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

    • There is no nightlife in Weybridge apart from a couple pubs.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
