    The Role

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

    • It was a good and varied experience that meant I was given varied roles and responsibilities that I felt have really developed my skills.

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

    • At no point did I feel like anyone treated me like the intern tea boy. My work was always valued and often I would be asked for advise regarding certain subjects.

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

    • I had a monthly discuss with my manager to talk about any issues I had with my role and responsibilities and my team lead was always available to answer my questions.

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

    • To start off I found myself idle a fair amount as I was completing tasks more efficiently than expected but as I gained more responisbilities my work load by half way through the year was enough to keep me busy all week, however the responsibilities have now been added to the role and this idle time should not happen with the next intern.

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

    • With the roles I took on I developed a lot a responsibility regarding certain processes where I was the only one who knew how the process worked.

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

    • It will really help me about real life accounts having seen how they are applied and used. It will also give me more focus next year after seeing that the degree is related to industry specific tasks.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • There is good buzz in the office and everyone is up for a laugh.

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

    • It will depend, department to department, and I found although my job was treated as real role it meant that there wasn't the support for an industrial trainee scheme wasn't there as much.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There are training courses available on Lockheed's online system but as Lockheed is an american company it is mainly american. There was an intern development day to London however.

    The Culture

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

    • There is a good social life with other placement students if you choose to take it it will depend on the interns though.

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

    • I lived and commuted from Guildford so cannot comment on the local cost.

    3/5
