About You
Having been the first time working in a large practice, I enjoy very much of my placement experience.
I feel very valued during my time in the urban design team in Arup.
I was well guided by the team during my time, and team members were supportive.
It helps me clarify the structure of proposing an urban design strategy with respect to the existing context. As well as learning to translate ideas into clear diagrams and illustrations so the concept can be demonstrated.
The Company
I was mainly working on the same competition project. Although the time schedule is tight, the work load is divided in between team members.
It was a great atmosphere in the office environment and I was well taking care by collages.
I am here only for a short time of two weeks, so no any personal training was planed.
I received full information of what the company would provide in terms of training and welfare. I get the full image of what it would be like to have a full time role here.
The insight is helpful for me to understand the company.
It was helpful for me to understand the scope of work and role in urban design.
Everything Else
I was paid in an agreed hourly rate for this experience.
I have many chances working cross field to other employees from different department.
No many social event was help in the two weeks that I was working.
I receive information for all the activities outside of work.
I would recommend this insight to a friend as to understand better of working in Arup.
