    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • The difficulty in tasks increased as I spent more time with the team and became more acquainted with the sort of tasks they complete. I felt like I was contributing to the team and the work they do. My team was incredibly friendly and made my whole experience even better

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • My colleagues treated me with the upmost kindness and helped me grow. They never made me feel like I was asking a silly question and helped me develop but also gave me the independence needed to explore the role

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • If there wasn't a manager or director to help, there was a grad or an associate. I never felt a shortage of help and knew there was always someone there if I got stuck

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Each day varied. I could go 75% of the day quite relaxed then all of a sudden have 3 urgent tasks to do before leaving, or I could have a consistently quiet or busy day

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given ownership of a number of tasks in my team. I also had to step up to act as out of office when half of my team went on holiday meaning I was given much more responsibility than initially planned

    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 time keeping and maintenance skills have increased tremendously I have also learned how to work best in different roles and levels within team working I have also been more clear in my expression as the work place requires more precise and direct communication

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • There was a very good balance of seriousness and fun I was invited along to the out of work events a few times too which added to the friendly ambience

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I was able to shadow a different team to first intended and the work I was given was responsive to the effort/work I put out There was a nice natural flow of responsibility and work

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • We had some online training as well as a sector induction day but most of the development was self taught/by my team

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • It was okay. I got on with the interns on my floor but it wasn't like other departments where there were scheduled events for the interns

    3/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • I worked in London and the accommodation was paid for. However it was not that easy to socialise due to the way the accommodation was set up and I found myself wanting alone time after work so didn't socialise as much as I should have. However, the company did put on a boat party which was very fun

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • It was good from what I experienced. A good variety of things to do

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There were opportunities but I didn't really get involved

    3/5
