    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I have always been interested in the products and services rolls royce produce and it was a fantastic experience to get to learn about how the company operates. I really enjoyed myself on placement because I worked in an area of the company that I was interested in.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I would have liked to have got involved in team more, however the colleagues I worked with were friendly and were willing to answer any questions that I had.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • The guidance I had from my manager was fantastic, he was willing to show me how to complete tasks and he answered any of my worries. Anytime I had a problem he would always find time for me and would normally find an answer within 24 hours.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Sometimes I could be really busy other times I was stuck for work to do. I would have liked a bit more work, but overall the work that I was given to do, I really enjoyed doing.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was trusted to complete tasks at my own pace and I was allowed to set up meetings and arrange going onto site. I did feel I could have been given a bit more responsbility as sometimes tasks seemed as they were given to me just to learn from rather than to make an impact to the company.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I have developed as a professional and as an engineer. I hope to complete my final year project on a topic similar to the area of the business I have been working in. I have learnt a great deal about the activities and challenges a company like rolls royce faces which should help me to make good business decisions.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The office was a great place to work. I always felt comfortable and the staff were friendly. There were many facilities such as coffee machines that helped to make the office very hospitable.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Other than a few small problems the placement was fantastic. Rolls Royce have established a placement in which students learn and build good working relationships with other staff and students.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I believed Rolls Royce invested time and money into my learning and future development. They are a company whom really care about their staff and invest in their staff'f future skills.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I am going to work for Rolls Royce after I have completed my final year at university.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • I made some good friends from all over the UK. We went out every weekend without fail and I also went to the gym with a few of them.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Bristol isn't the cheapest city to live in, however the accomodation is of far better quality than I had at university and my salary covered my costs. Nights out were reasonable and we often went to clubs which were free to get in.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Bristol has a great nightlife, loads of different clubs for different tastes and plenty of other ways to be entertained such as clubs, casinos, live music, etc.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Compared to the previous internship I had had with another company there wern't that many activities to get involved with outside of work, but I didn't mind too much because I had lots of things in Bristol to do and see in the evening.

    3/5
