    The Company

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

    • Everybody was working (mainly because it was an office). However the people there were always joyful on the inside and loved making jokes which made the environment a much better atmosphere.

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

    • Had lots to do as soon as I walked through the door. Only reason of the 9 instead of 10 is that I had to keep asking for the work rather than having a good idea of the next task to prepare for. However besides form this-stilll very well thought out placement.

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

    • The firm invested a lot of time in helping me to learn more about what I was interested in and this information would also help me in the future. The firm also helped me to develop the skills I already had.

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

    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I like the idea of working for Metaswitch Networks as the staff are very kind and seem happy doing their job no matter what it be. Even the labour workers enjoy what they do which all helps to a better atmosphere in the workplace.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Everyone was very kind to each other and you felt as if you were in a happy environment where there was no tension between any staff and you didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

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

    • Very very easy. You could easily walk to an employee and ask for help or just talk and they would be happy to converse with you.

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

    • Due to the placement being in an office I found that there wasn't much of a nightlife however in the area there was a range of clubs and pubs to get involved in.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were lots of educational career paths one could take to further themselves in their career. There is also Middlesex University not too far away where someone could learn more about what they are doing.
