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

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Professional but enthusiastic office. A large corporate company where many love their job.

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

    • Very well organised, from the day I arrived until the day I left

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

    • I don’t think it’s about them investing in you. You need to show you want to progress and develop then they will help.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • There’s lots of room for future job prospects and movement within the company

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There is no social scheme between students. The social environment means it’s not necessary

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The midlands was one of the most affordable areas I would say.

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

    • Commute to Birmingham or Leicester if not there’s pubs nearby

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

    • Not organised as such but definitely opportunities within the teams

    3/5
