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

    • My manager was amazing and supported me throughout the whole process. He pushed me to my best ability and any criticism was always constructive and delivered to me in a manner of someone who cared about my personal career.

    • I was made to feel like a normal permanent employee and not a placement student. This allowed me to expand and develop strong skills for my CV and make the most of my time there.

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

    • Although I feel a lot of my experience was not too relevant to my degree subject, I have definitely developed a broad range of valuable skills that will help me in multiple future career paths.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • I felt that the atmosphere in my teams section was more enjoyable than the office as a whole. Whilst I feel my desk and surrounding area was fun and made the work more pleasurable, it was a different scenario sometimes in other areas of the office. However, a factor of this does involve the importance of jobs -and contracts different people are working on.

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

    • I felt that at the beginning of my placement there was a structure and plan for how it would go start to finish. However towards the middle and end I did feel like the structure was disrupted and I felt a bit lost in the company. Also, coronavirus impacted the end of my placement quite a bit.

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

    • I received the same training as any new starter of the company would.
