    The Role

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

    • Very slow training process, a lot of self learning. Quite good support ressources. Stil some confusion around some working processes. Overall good learning experience in sales and fairly straightforward goals.

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

    • Strong company culture, very nice environment but valuable feedback is often given. Some effort towards creating social environment outside of work, which is not easy considering that we are all working from home.

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

    • Quite good, supervisors and managers often busy, however often check ins to see what is going well, what can be improved and how we can be trained. Many different people involved in training.

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

    • Some days are very busy, some a bit less. Overall correct workload with flexibility in terms of choosing how to manage workload.

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

    • Fairly large amount of responsibility. Clear and defined role given. A lot of independence and trust from supervisors and colleagues

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

    • Developed some practical skills that I would not necessarily learn in my degree. Good to have this in addition to what I am currently learning.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • No office, working from home, so this is irrelevant

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

    • Quite well organised. On time delivery of equipment. First few weeks are training, then gradual ramping. However some aspects of training could be improved as they are very general at the beggining.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Great investment, can tell that Box value interns and want to provide working experience as well as smooth experience

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

    • Working from home
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • If placement is going well/ enjoyable for interns doing this internship, future employment prospects can be strong

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • yes, in context of pandemic this is more difficult to accomplish. But strong friendly atmosphere

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

    • London is expensive, however socialising is fairly easy. Therefore the bar is midway

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Covid-19 = no nightlife

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
