    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • As with any job there are aspects that I have loved and aspects that I have not enjoyed so much. I have viewed the whole experience as a positive with every experience providing a learning opportunity.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I have really felt valued by the teams that I have worked in as the roles I have taken have had a real contribution to the performance of those teams. I have also met socially with a few members of my team.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I felt like the support I got varied between placements; however there was always help when I needed it through colleagues, other placement students, managers and the 'Buddy' system.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I have always been busy in my placements and sometimes I have felt I have had too much to do, however this is not all the time and during quieter periods where I have not had a lot to do I have been able to ask and take on more work.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I have been given a lot of responsibility in the roles that I have taken. I think the reason for this is that my managers recognised when I had been given responsibility and handled it well and given me more as a result.

    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 feel I have developed a lot of skills at my placement. I have increased my knowledge, learnt about the office environment, increased my inter-personal skills, improved computer skills. I feel that the placement has helped give me a correct mindset to tackle the future, instead of the 'lazy-student'mindset.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The atmosphere around the office was different between different placements. One was louder than the other with more banter, however, saying that, everyone has been really friendly and chatty and I never felt like I had to sit there in silence until the phone rang.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I think the placement could have been more organised, however I appreciate that sometimes things have to change because of business need. I received a lot of communication prior to me starting and the induction week was well planned. I was informed of my placement duties before I started them so I knew what to expect.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • We have four training days across the year that taught us some key skills. These have been really good fun and have really allowed all the placement students to bond as a team. I feel I have also been given support and training as and when required in order to complete my roles. If I have not understood something I have always felt able to ask.

    5/5

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

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    National Travel

    Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events

    Above 25 days holiday

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I would consider a job here, but I would also consider other opportunites in the current job market.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • I feel we were a great placement team and we all got on really well. We also met up with each other on a number of social occasions. We gained the epic acheivements of coming last in the work pub quiz and joint second on the 'Its a knockout' tournament.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Coventry is fairly cheap on rent, as are nights out at certain venues. Leamington and Birmingham are not too far away for those who require a more classier nights out.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • As above really. Nights out are good, but Leamington and Birmingham are not too far away.

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There are opportunities available all around coventry to suit anyone if they wanted to get involved. I haven't really.

    5/5
