    The Role

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

    • Wasn't good to begin with, but when a few things changed, it got far better. The struggle was with trying to align my skills with what the team needed

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Some of them treated me like a collegue, others like a stranger

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

    • My first supervisor I don't think understood me very well at all. My second supervisor wasn't very nice at all. My third supervisor was absolutely epic, he really understands me, and really lets me flourish

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

    • I always had an underlying project to get on with, but always had some other things to do. I'm rarely doing the same thing on a week by week basis

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

    • I'm given a fair amount, its growing every month though

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

    • Due to the projects that I ran and my manager approved, I learnt an incredible amount!

    5/5

    • We're all in separate cubes so there wasn't much banter or anything

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

    • Yeah, got proper work to do, I'm helping the team

    5/5

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

    • Although this is a great place to work, it doesn't focus on the areas I want to take forward for a career

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • With the small group of interns in my group there was a shocking amount of social stuff

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Swindon is on the top of anyones "want to live" list but it has some perks

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There are plenty of places to go, but, they're full of degenerates most of the time

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

    • There wasn't a lot going on outside of work to be fair
