    The Role

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

    • Not my area of expertise, quite the opposite, found new concepts difficult to grasp and took me a while to settle in due to lack of knowledge and experience. However I was given better suited tasks towards middle of internship.

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

    • Felt a little useless and anxious at times. However, colleagues all very warm and friendly/ wanted to help out and regular check ups to make sure I was coping okay.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Lots of support and guidance. Check ins and 1 to 1s put me at ease and gave me some reassurance that I was doing okay.

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

    • The work load for me was about right. Not too excessive. Just the right amount for me to carry without getting too stressed/over faced alongside picking up brand new skills and learning about the business.

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

    • I don't think I was given lots of responsibility, my manager ensured I was feeling comfortable without too much pressure.

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

    • Although my degree is not relevant to the nature of the business, I believe I have picked up some incredibly useful and valuable transferrable skills.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Quiet enough to allow for me to concentrate, clear that everyone was working hard and genuinely cared for their individual work roles and responsibilities, this environment. Everyone very supportive of each other and warm, willing to chat.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • This was done very well. I think it was better that there was no set out journey for me, it allowed my manager to learn more about me before setting tasks, so that she could cater the internships to my strengths.

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

    • We got to speak with every department of CB-MM, to introduce ourselves and learn how the different roles work together to form a team.

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

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

    • Not something I want to go into. The internship was helpful, but was never something i could see myself working in.

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • All other interns very friendly and professional. I particularly got along with my charity challenge team very well.

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

    • Average costs.

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

    • Leeds has a decent nightlife scene.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Work very intense and long, so, for me, no. Not used to full time so internship had to be my main point of concentration. Quite demanding.
