    The Role

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

    • Really enjoyed my time with the company I was working with. Gave me a lot of experience and exposure in a short space of time. Glad I took on a summer internship.

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

    4/5

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

    • Everything I did had value for myself and the company, I was grateful for the training I was given that will help me when I enter the work place.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • A good balance of professionalism and casual friendliness, I never felt uncomfortable or pressured in any way.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • My on boarding process was a little bit unorganised, it took a long time before I had unescorted access to my work place which was very frustrating.

    1/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was given a lot of training opportunities that led to qualifications which will help me later.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I am keen to take part in their graduate scheme.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were no other students/internships at the location I was working at.

    1/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I lived at home, but speaking to others, the area was not that great for socialising.

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

    • Not really too much going on, it is a little bit rural.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Nothing particularly, again, it is quite a rural area so not really that much going on unless you really went looking for it.
