    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my placement, we got to see how BT worked and travel between different sites aswell as create a worth while project, that was valued by people around BT and I generally just enjoyed every day

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

    • I was always able to talk and ask questions of everyone around me and I never felt like I wasn't welcome in the office or wanted. I got to take part in 5-aside with BT employees and go out for a meal and generally felt like I was a part of the team

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

    • On several occasions by multiple different staff I had meaningful help and advice about topics I was stuck with or how to improve and I felt like these people wanted to help

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

    • I generally very rarely felt like I didn't have anything to do, I always felt busy and knew what I had to do.

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

    • I felt like I was responsible for the project and towards the end was directing some of the other summer students and this was pleasure because I felt respected

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

    • The programming language I have learned will most likely come in useful for a module I have coming up this year

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • I think it was generally always really friendly and everyone was approachable and wanted to help if they could or find someone who could help

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

    • Some times I think because they were trying new things with virtualisation there was teething problems and because we were also in a tempory building this also sometimes caused issues

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

    • We had regular sessions/classes showing different topics we might not encounter

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

    • Sports and Social Club
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the people and the general idea of the stuff they work on appealed to me

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • We generally all got on and often organised to eat lunch and go out together after work.

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

    • Because we were working in Gloucester because the main building was being renovated the cost of living was reasonable

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

    • There isn't much of a nightlife in Gloucester but we did go out once or twice and it was fun

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

    • I got involved in some 5-aside and there was also rock climbing and ive heard of other activities that have occured
