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

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

    • Advice and guidance is always readily available

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

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

    • I was told what needed doing and when, but i was left to tackle these by myself. If i required help i could ask for it and recieve it.

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

    • The time management skills have been vital in keeping my uni work up to date and submitted on time. I am also a far more organisedperson than previously.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Of course there was a lot of work to get done, but it is still enjoyable. Light-hearted banter coupled with activities outside the office (pub linch on Wednesdays etc.) makes my time more enjoyable.

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

    • The company clearly has a "well oiled" placement scheme in place. about 4.5% of workers are students.

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

    • The company does not necessarily see me as a long term employee, but a student learning how to work in this environment. However, if i impress a job offer may come after my studies are completed.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    Healthcare from home
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • If i impress and require a job after my studies, i can approach them and they are more likely to "fit me in".

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Many of my student colleagues i know from university so there is a good atmosphere amonst us. There are social events we can attend like sports clubs, and we often do.

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

    • The area is quite densely populated so living costs can be high. I grew up in this area and attend university in london so high living costs seem normal to me, biut for others it may be too expensive.

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

    • There are clubs etc. but it is an area that most people would avoid the nightlife because of crime.

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

    • There are many various sport clubs, social clubs etc. run in the area a few are even linked the Delphi!
