    The Role

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

    • Really well structured internship. The HR were fantastic and really helped push forward my career. The work on the internship really deoends on your team, while I had to be quite proactive asking for tasks to do, another intern was provided with a steady stream. So its very much hit and miss in terms of how proactive you need to be to get work. Really nice people, lots of encouragement and very approachable.

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

    • Very friendly and inclusive team. At times i could tell it was best not to ask them for work if they were really busy but overall they did as much as they could to include me. They took me on the team meal out etc.

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

    • My line manager was new so I think he was trying to juggle lots of things but he was making an effort with me and helped arrange meetings with other teams so I could learn about the buisness. My mentor was fabulous, very encouraging, felt i could ask her anything.

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

    • I had just the right amount of work. And it was interesting work not just admin my team couldnt be bothered to do. I did have to be proactive in asking for it at times, but I think a lot of that was because they were aware I should not be given dull useless tasks .

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

    • This varied from project to project solely because of the role of the team i was in it was quite difficult to give responsibility for some things. However any task they could give me full responsibility for they did.
