    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my internship. The people were friendly, I learnt a lot and had fun during the many socials.

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

    • I felt that they cared about my internship experience and wanted me to enjoy myself and learn a lot as well. I also felt that they wanted me to be part of the team and hoped that I would join them in the future.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I asked a lot of questions whenever I was unsure of something and the people were very helpful in explaining things to me. If I still couldn't quite grasp a concept, they were still patient and would try to simplify their explanation until it was clear to me.

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

    • For an intern, I think I was quite busy and had quite a fair bit of work to do. It could be because I was constantly asking for work but they were never short of work for me and tried to give me a variety of tasks.

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

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

    • I have definitely improved my communication skills which in my opinion is one of the most important skills to have. I have grown more confident in myself and my skills. And of course the whole internship experience is invaluable.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • It was quite quiet at times probably due to the summer holidays and London Olympics.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Overall I though my internship was well structured. I was engaged to clients and was never short of work. However I my final interview was not on my last day of work as planned.

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

    • The company organised a week long induction for networking and training, which I thought was good.

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

    • Job prospects are good even though its recession, the company is investing heavily on people.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I think we all clicked pretty well and could form a pretty good team. However there wasn't much socialising outside of the office due to a number of reasons.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The cost of living is decent but drinks are quite expensive.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There were a few bars and clubs, nothing spectacular.

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

    • There were quite a few socials organised by the company but apart from that there wasn't much to do in the town.
