    The Company

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

    • The office is a place for work and so you have to work. But there are always distractions from getting a coffee with friends or a GPTW event (Good Place To Wwork) where they do BBQ, Give away smoothies and chocolates...

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

    • There is a 6 week hand over period which allows the old intern to train the new intern - this really helps as you are speaking to someone on your level and can ask them things you may not feel comfortable asking your manager.

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

    • Wwhat you get out of any placement depends on what you put in. Intel has loads of opportunities to develop personal and work skills.

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

    • I think Intel is a fantastic company to work for as it really reward its staff. For those that work hard during the year prospect of being hired back is very high.

    5/5

    • Swindon is not the best place to go out but because there are so many of you its always entertaining!

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

    • As stated in the above Swindon is not always the best as its not a uni town. However most people go out every Thursday :)

    4/5
