    The Role

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

    • The work was on the whole interesting, but petered out towards the end of the internship

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

    • I felt comfortable at all times approaching more senior employees, and I think they too felt no reservations over engaging with interns. Overall it felt like a very flat hierarchy, which helped to make my work feel valued

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

    • The training was excellent, and my manager was very hands-on

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

    • This varied a lot. Towards the beginning I was reasonably busy (a fair few tasks to be getting on with, plus 1 or 2 meetings a day), but by the final few weeks I was struggling to find things to do

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was left to get on with my own work, but I wouldn’t say I ever had a huge amount of 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?

    • Almost no overlap with my degree. We’ll see about beyond!

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • People were positive and friendly, though hot-desking sometimes made for a tense atmosphere when people were without a desk. Pretty quiet at times

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

    • Again, started very well. First week of training was excellent, and the ‘lunch-and-learns’ over the 8 weeks were great. It felt like there was no centralised structure to the work I was set however, and this sometimes made it feel like my day-to-day tasks were a bit haphazard

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

    • First week training was excellent, as were ‘lunch-and-learns’. Manager also very good

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

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

    • Got a job with them!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, good socials set up bu the company, and fellow interns were always up for meeting outside of work

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London is expensive

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

    • Lots of bars

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were a couple of socials, and some yoga sessions etc. After COB
