    4/5

    4/5

    4/5

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The internship and training did improve my knowledge about OOP and C++, so I believe it would be helpful in the future.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • The general atmosphere was really good and people were friendly.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It was very well organised, but there were some small problems in the beginning - I guess even well organised internships cannot be perfect.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There was a two week training course at the beginning, which was useful and felt like a big investment. Afterwards, while I was part of a team, my colleagues regularly helped me when I needed it.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I enjoyed working there, but didn't really like staying in Birmingham that much.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were a lot of other interns and graduate students, who started recently, so there was a good social scene.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The cost of living and socialising in Birmingham wasn't too bad.

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

    • I didn't really go out that much, but the few times I did, it was pretty decent.

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

    • There were groups of people that gathered together to go out after work or play football, so I would say so.
