  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Very enjoyable. Useful exposure to the work, good work:social balance.

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

    • Friendly team

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

    • Managers were involved in itnernship project, and more than happy to help and advise with other more routine work.

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

    • Enough to keep me busy, and the work covered a variety of areas within the business, so gave a great oversight.

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

    • Autonomy given on intern projects, some work was quite micromanaged as it was quite complicated, but that's reasonable. Other projects offered a lot of freedom, with oversight at the end of course!

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Definitely useful things to be doing, as it is all part of the day to day work of an employee.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Plenty going on after work, staff leaving parties, exam results, birthdays etc so it was a lively office, people were approachable and friendly

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

    • An overview was given at the start so I knew what I would be doing which was helpful.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The internship was viewed as potentially leading to a full time job, so the company was certainly keen to train people up.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    National Travel

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Interns are the first port of call for the grad scheme, so they are certainly keen to hire interns who meet the criteria.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were only a few of us in the office, so it was something we organised ourselves, but added to the stuff the wider office organised there was plenty going on.

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

    • Not expensive at all, the town centre is nearby so you don't need to eat/drink in the more expensive shops right next to the corporate offices

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

    • Plenty going on, though not as much as would be during term time, given it is a university city.

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

    • Regular offers of trips and activities organised

    5/5
