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

    • There was generally a very good flow of steady work but there would be occasional weeks/days where it'd be completely overwhelming or agonizingly quiet. But the variety could be good.

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

    • I was given several important tasks while I was working here but the fate of the company was never on my shoulders (thank goodness!)

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

    • Working in a real production company and gaining skills and experience outside of university was so valuable and will definitely benefit me in my future career.

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

    • As I was the first intern my department had ever had my role was being developed as I started working. This was never a problem though.

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

    • I would definitely look to be a permanent part of this amazing company, but it's really a case of right place, right time when it comes to getting a permanent role.

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • Plenty of intern events were organized by the intern community here.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London is a very expensive city and the salary was more than adequate but still not the kind of money you can go out every night on. But then it is an internship so what do you expect?

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Chiswick is a more pub and quiet bar area than it is a raving club scene.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Some events were set up by the other interns here and activities outside of work would occasionally be set up by the Enjoy Work team that tend to the business park here.
