    • The team I was in was excellent and were easy to get on with. I had the oppurtunity to meet many great people.

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

    • I felt I was valued greatly by my colleagues. This includes both for the work I produced being meaningful to them, but also being invited to team social events.

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

    • I was expected to work through the work myself but when and if i needed support or guidance it was avaliable for me. The majority of people within the company are happy to help you should you need it.

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

    • I always had work to complete and there was always extra work avaliable. The key was to just ask for more work should you need any

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

    • I was given a fair amount of responsibility considering the placement only being for 10 weeks.

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

    • The skills/training gained during my time will help me both for my university studies but also after. Many of the skills I have developed will be applicable both within and outside of the company. Through the formal review process all interns undertake I have gained an insight into which areas I can improve my skills going forward.

    5/5

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

    • There were a number of events held for the development of interns including inductions and functional insights. Any additional training I wished to do was allowed. This is usually the case if you can find a benefit to the business.

    • It isnt amazing but there are a number of good citys within easy traveling distance.

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

    • There is plenty of things to do round about derby particularly within the peaks. The sports centre at work also means there is access to 5 a side/ tennis/ squash courts at very reasonable prices.
