The Role

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

To a large extent, it was good to learn something new and add to my skills and experience. I also liked that I had done something prior to what I was doing now, which I did not even know about. So I enjoyed that aspect.

4/5

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

To a large extent, I was always given something to do, and I felt like the work I did was valued in the way the response and feedback was given to me, after what I had done.

4/5

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

To a large extent, I was always able to go to them whenever I needed help or wasn't sure about something

5/5

4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

I always had something to do after the first week, so I would say I was relatively busy.

4/5

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

I was given a decent amount towards the end were I had to work on my own project, so it was nice to have that opportunity

4/5

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

To a large extent, some were skills I already had which I believe were elevated, others were developed by what I had to do, i.e using excel.

It was pleasant, free flowing, cooperative, positive, team centric

4/5

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

I would say it was exceptionally organised, we knew what we were supposed to do everyday, from the minute we started to the minute we ended.

4/5

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

I think it's hard to gauge that, as some people's experience may be different for others, but I would say everyone had a mentor and for me they would speak to me. Give me feedback and advice which I would say was to a good extent.

4/5

10. What were the perks on your work placement?

Financial Bonus

4/5

11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

very appealing, there's opportunity to move around within the business, and I feel like the company promotes and rewards people for their work so I believe the prospects are very appealing.

4/5

The Culture

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

I believe there was, we met up a few times for drinks so it was nice.

5/5

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

It's hard to note this, but I think it was fairly high, again it's central london so it is what it is

4/5

14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

It was good , I experienced some of it, it's central london so there would always be things to do

4/5

15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

There was but because of the short space of time I was not able to, but I would say given more time, there would be more activities to get involved in
