    The Role

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

    • Quite a lot, I never hated going to work. The culture is friendly and promotes learning

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

    • Quite valued, I felt like I was adding value and contributing with my work. Though, the nature of work depends on the desk/ rotation you are on

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

    • A lot by my line manager who really supports interns and learning. Some members of teams are definitely more keen to help than others but it's also up to you to put yourself out there

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

    • Depends on what stage of the internship. Towards deadlines you are generally busier and once deadlines have completed you might have a bit of downtime before being allocated more work. Your balance also depends on how you manage your time

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

    • They can't give you that much because you are an intern and are still learning
