    The Role

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

    • There is a great working atmosphere, and it is clearly evident that this company look after the employees. The monthly free bar is a great example of this!

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

    • You are part of a team with a chance to contribute to many projects and your opinion is listened too and often acted upon.

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

    • Managers are often very busy, so it can be difficult to get time with them. But they are very welcoming and do actively make time to help you and listen to findings.

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

    • This was probably the weakest aspect of the internship. I was often in a stage in my project with little to do, but it does force you to be proactive in extending your work.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • My project had real retail implications which was a great experience.

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

    • It was only a summer internship so there was not much emphasis on training.
