    The Role

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

    • It was definitely enjoyable, and I am glad that I have found a career that I enjoy and could take further!

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

    • There were frequently socials within the office and department, and we were all encouraged to get involved. I definitely am glad I did as it made the experience much more fulfilling.

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

    • There was almost the right balance between not going into too much detail and not being told enough. Though there was a clear difference in the level of support between some of the incharges. But if I had a query, everyone was always willing to help.

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

    • Given the nature of the work, there were some jobs where there were many tasks that I could help out with, but others I found that after I while I would just be waiting for information from loads of different people with nothing to be doing in the meantime

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

    • I was given as much as I feel could be expected, as obviously there was a lot that it wouldn't be reasonable for me to understand.

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

    • I definitely feel that I have a greater understanding of how businesses work, which relates well to my degree. I have also found a career that I enjoy, which is great!

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The office is very work focussed but still felt relaxed.

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

    • Often found myself not sure who to ask for advice or knowing what was expected of me. I was provided with a buddy who during the placement was often studying for exams and so could have been slow at replying at times. Was meant to shadow a partner, but every opportunity kept getting postponed, but another intern did it three times so there definitely was the opportunity.

    2/5
