    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed most of my time at MMT Digital, I was working within the Response and Maintenance team for the majority of the time which resulted in a wide range/variety of work for some big clients and some smaller clients. Some of the non-development based work wasn't as enjoyable but this was all part of the role.

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

    • MMT Digital has a very good culture around it where you don't feel separated from anybody and, even as a placement student, any work you complete will be respected and treat the same as everybody else.

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

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

    • Most of the days I was busy, however due to the nature of the work on the Response and Maintenance team we occasionally had downtime without work, this time was then promptly directed towards relevant training which mean't we were never wasting time, even on those occasions where we had little to no work.

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

    • We were treated the same as any other developer within the company, this meant directly communicating with clients and carrying out work as a developer and not a placement developer. Despite this, we still had full support and weren't expected to know everything.

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

    • It was a great experience to learn and develop skills within a real-world working environment which I believe will help me for the rest of my career.

    5/5

    The Company

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

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

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

    • We were always given the opportunity for training when we had downtime as well as the ability to ask others about our training which made this more useful than just following guides online.

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

    • Company Parties/Events
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • If given the ability to move onto other teams (which is a possibility both during and after placement) the future employment prospects are very promising.

    5/5
