    The Role

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

    • Much better than I thought it would be. I was less in control of what I would be doing than I thought, but this turned out to be good because obviously I had no real idea what was actually good for me.

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

    • Relaxed but professional. People knew when to laugh and when to get down to work

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

    • There wasn't a time when they wouldn't make time for my questions, despite the intern scheme only being a few years old.

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

    • There is plenty to do, and if you aren't busy, you tend to make yourself busy to understand it all.

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

    • Certainly not running the show, because legally there are some things you can't do as an intern, but I could go along to client meetings, help with pitch books etc.

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

    • Without doubt extremely transferable skills

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Serious but dynamic

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

    • 2 rotations with a good idea of how each week would play out, if not each day each time

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

    • Definitely. If the money invested isn't critical for their balance sheet, certainly the time invested can't be overlooked

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I do have a graduate offer for summer 2013, provided I get a 2,1

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Definitely, better than I thought

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

    • London, so living in particular is expensive

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

    • In the City itself pretty poor, but being London there are other places

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes, sports and much else

    4/5
