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

    The Company

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

    • The office had days when it was quiet but other days when it was very busy. There isn't a great deal of 'fun' organised but you make your own fun, especially with the other interns as we have a 'games' room with a table tennis table and a wii

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Very good, they have lots of interns here at GE Healthcare and it is well organised.

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

    • I didn't receive a great deal of development training, its a bit of a 'do it yourself' company where you develop while on the job.

    4/5

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes! I have made good friends through my placement and we are always organising social events and activities to do together.

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

    • Luckily I commute to work as it is only a 40 minute drive as Hatfield is not the nicest of areas and there isn't much to do regarding socialising. The area is overpriced for what it is and offers, but it is this way due to the students and university. But we make our own fun as there is a train station that goes straight into Kings Cross a 2 minute walk from the office and there a few restaurants situated not that far from work.

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

    • There's the student union in the Forum... and thats about it

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • A few things, I took part in a few sports classes that were held at the office but not a great deal was organised.
