    The Role

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

    • The work I was able to engage with in my role was particularly good as it was often tailored to my own interests. There were a number of friendly experienced colleagues whom I was able to learn form and enjoyed working with. 13 months as an intern in SAP has left me hungry for more.

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

    • The work I did felt massively valued and many of my tasks were born out of necessity rather than just undertaking meaningless intern jobs.

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

    • Communication was not always as regular as I would've liked with my manager but the ability to be very honest and open when I did speak with them and the actions they would take on those conversations was very good.

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

    • At times my role lacked structure meaning that at some points in my internship I was not as busy as I would have liked.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given the chance to engage and contribute to many important projects. In a large organisation however I was surrounded by many experienced colleagues so I took hopportunity to learn rather than taken on more responsibility

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

    • The skills that I learnt in this placement will be invaluable going forward.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The office was often quiet as my team spent a lot of time onsite, luckily the large intern program meant that I was able to still make friends at work and enjoy being in the office

    2/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It's a well established internship but I felt my role could have been structured better.

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

    • Company online training is always available but I wasn't sent on any training or development courses.

    2/5

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

    • I would be interested to return for the right role.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes the intern network is very social and supportive

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

    • I never lived or socialised in the area we worked as we'd always go into London which is obviously quite expensive.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Again in the area where the office is Nightlife is non-existent but London is more lively!

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

    • Not many apart from the office football team
