    The Role

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

    • Very much so.

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

    • Because the work I did during my placement was needed by various teams, I did feel valued especially when a colleague refers to me for a specific field.

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

    • My managers were very helpful even given the limited time they had.

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

    • There were some days when projects were due that working hours extended quite a bit but most days follow the standard 9/5.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Incrementally more as time went on and my line manager was confident that I could handle a project or problem independently

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

    • This placement has taught me a lot of practical skills. I could only develop the skills that I read from books and apply the knowledge I learned in University when given a real world scenario to do so which happened here.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Sometimes quiet and sometimes fun. During some days, it would get stressful depending on the context of the month/quarter.

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

    • It was organised for the first few months and then mostly, the onus fell on myself to develop my understanding of the business and projects.

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

    • Specific skills wise, the company had to invest in our understanding of GDPR and anti-competitive laws (for laymen). Other soft skills were taught to me by my mentor and learned directly from books and in practice.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events

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

    • There is a grad scheme and I've seen previous placement interns coming back to the company being put on it.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, the interns were very close as there were over 25 of us. The line managers and graduates often socialised with us. Some of us placement interns still kept in contact.

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

    • In Rickmansworth/Watford, I believe the rent is relatively cheap even while we are still technically in London.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It was alright.

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

    • We had a sports and social club which always organised events such as nights out and rounders.
