    The Role

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

    • The internship involved delving into various aspects of the projects conducted by the team. It was therefore successful in providing a higher level view of technology and data science in the company. This made it thoroughly enjoyable. More structure to the actual role would be the only suggestion I have.

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

    • The team did not pass on projects that were not going to be used, or worked on by others.

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

    • The guidance and support provided throughout the internship were very valuable. Perhaps the guidance was inconsistent due to organisational changes.

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

    • The workload was sufficient to keep me interested and motivated through the internship, but not overworked (most of the time).

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • The projects that I had the opportunity to work in, my team divided the tasks amongst us equally.

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

    • I gained a lot through the experience, technically as well as socially. Technically, I learned other programming languages and a lot more about data science in industry. Other social skills picked up included talking to clients, forming and maintaining networks with colleagues.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • It was a good mixture of work and other social activities once in a while. Perhaps there were not many other activities due to reorganisational changes within the team.

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

    • The general area of technology and data science were defined. However, the projects or their specifications were decided as and when they were ongoing.

    The Culture

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

    • The social aspects of the internship were very well organised for the majority of the interns. However during the first three months, prior to the summer interns and 12 month IPs arriving, there were very few events organised.
