    The Role

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

    • I had an excellent time at my internship - my team was absolutely lovely, as were all of my coworkers. I felt very welcomed by everyone there and generally had a fantastic time.

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

    • My thoughts and suggestions were listened to and valued, especially when it came to things like front-end design. Despite being brand new at the company my manager and coworkers still valued my opinions on changes and choices, and trusted me when I said that I knew a different way to do something.

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

    • Whenever I was stuck on a problem my manager was always happy to point me in the direction of someone who would be able to offer better advice if he himself didn't know how to help.

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

    • Some days were busy, and some days could be quite slow - especially at the start when we were still setting things up - but on the whole I felt very happy with the amount of work I had.

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

    • I was given what I would consider a comfortable amount of responsibility - I definitely wasn't telling everyone what to do, but when it came to part of the project that was more my area and skillset I was encouraged to speak up more, and was trusted to work on that area without as much supervision.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • As my degree is very theory-focused not all of what I learned was massively useful. However, a lot of what I learned has been extremely useful for one of my modules, and it's helped me with my dissertation as well.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The office always had an excellent atmosphere - I never felt too stressed or overworked, and if I ever did feel particularly stressed I was encouraged to leave for a bit to go for a short walk. People were friendly and happy to help and I genuinely always felt very happy arriving at the office.

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

    • Being a transgender man who's name hasn't yet been legally changed meant that I had a few issues with organising some stuff before I fully started the internship, and there were a few instances where things weren't communicated as well as they could have been, but overall the internship was fairly well organised.

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

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

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

    • Considering I left the internship with a job offer for when I graduate, I have to say very. I had a great time on my internship and I'm still friends with several members of my team - I'm very much looking forwards to finishing uni and returning to my team.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • 3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

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

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