    The Role

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

    • Intel is a great place to do an internship. The work ethic, benefits and people who work here make it a good environment to do some time in a big company if it's your first time.

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

    • I feel I have been able to make decisions that have added value and I haven't been treated as just an "intern".

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

    • The support structure for interns has been well thought out. Regular meetings with managers and team members allow you to discuss your progress and clarify issues.

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

    • It is extremely varied. Throughout the quarter project activity is spread out so flexibility with working hours is sometimes necessary.

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

    • I was given full responsibility of the supply chain management of 3 product groups in my first role. In my second role, I have the opportunity to take over an account such as John Lewis and I'm running an event hosted by Intel aimed at some of the UK's retail CEO's.

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

    • I have been given the opportunity to do two jobs in completely different departments of the organisation. By dong this, I have managed to add an extra skill-set gained from the placement. On top of this their is compulsory training for the first month.

    4/5

    • Very well organised. The switch over with the previous interns ensures everything in training goes as smooth as possible

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

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

    • There are definitely opportunities in the operations department, however future prospects within the sales and marketing department are not great as they don't usually hire back.

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • There's always something going on with 60 other interns.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Cost of living is relatively cheap - around £320. Cost of socialising is a lot more reasonable than big towns.

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

    • Not great, just one main club we go to. But with 60 other interns you can make what you want.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • With a site wide sports and social club, there are lots of events/gig tickets on sale at good prices.
