    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Working at Rolls-Royce has been fantastic. Everyone is polite and friendly. Every task, big or small, is treated with professionalism. Let's not forget the beautiful cars we produce! I have learnt so much from the management team, that I will put into use for the future.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • The whole team was very inclusive. At any point if I needed support or an explanation to why we did something a certain way, my colleagues would take the time to do that. Everyone is always grateful for the work you do with them.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • As busy as they are, the management team always took aside time to support my work. My manager gave me alot of responsibility which really pushed me into ensuring I followed the correct standards and processes.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I always felt pushed to work hard and efficiently. Sometimes there was alot of pressure, however this made me better at time management. I always had the ability to leave on time or an hour after end of shift, therefore it was a perfect balance.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I have been in control of a few projects over my placement at Rolls-Royce. This involved organising various teams, assigning tasks and ensuring we stuck to a set schedule.

    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 am already putting these skills to use in projects outside of work and once I return to university they will come in handy. I feel that, once these tools are in place, the work will flow and less effort is required further down the line.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • We had quite a quiet office however, the time I spent in there meant I could crack on with my independent work.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • From the assessment day before I started to the last few weeks of my placement everything was clearly set out and arranged. I enjoyed the revealing Rolls-Royce day course, showing the history of the business and the goals we strive for as a team.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I had all the tools at my disposal such as all the software, equipment and the ability to talk to anyone in the team to aid my learning.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Subsidised Canteen

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I would love to return after my studies.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Everyone felt included to all the social events. I have made a few very good friends from the placement.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Chichester is a more pricey area, however, you get what you pay for. It's a lovely place to be.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • The area only has pubs.

    2/5

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