    The Role

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

    • Started off slow but once real work started coming in it became a lot more enjoyable

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

    • Didn't feel that involved in my first placement as my desk was further away from the main group so couldn't join in casual conversation as easily. Team was also very large. Second placement team was smaller so was easier to join in these sorts of things.

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

    • Weekly meetings to review team progress. Occasional updates in-between.

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

    • Not so busy during first placement due to the ramping down of current projects. Very busy during second placement.

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

    • Not much in the first placement due to the ramping down. A fair bit in the second placement due to ramp up.

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

    • Documentation writing will help prepare for 3rd year project write-ups. Project planning will also help for the 3rd year project.
