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

    • Everyone seemed genuinely interested in my views and respected my opinions. They also included me in social activities outside of work which was very fun.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I was given my own mini 'project' to run which was important to a larger project which my manager was running.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The experience has been very useful, the skill of sending emails and communication have been strongly developed, as well as confidence. There are other more specific skills such as project management knowledge and an understanding of enginges that may not be so transferable.

    4/5

    The Company

    • I had no problems with organisation at all, everything ran perfectly smoothly.

    5/5

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

    • The company is very good in terms of benefits, and they clearly look after their staff as some people have been here for nearly 40 years. No one has any majoy complaints about it.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Rolls-Royce organised a facebook page so we could all interact before we met. They also organised an initial social and have a unoin for organising further events. The facebook page was also used to organise our own events.
