    The Role

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

    • Ups and downs, always glad I did it though

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

    • we were told we would be treated as if we were graduates but definitely not the case for most of us. although for an 18 year old straight out of school we were valued pretty well - never making coffees etc., and usually invited to all the team meetings etc. and actually contributing to stuff

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

    • I worked on two different projects and from both managers learnt a lot and was given good guidance and they were approachable

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

    • up and down - occasionally ended up staying until 7.30pm but often very bored and felt I shouldn't leave before 6pm although I probably should've been more active in asking for extra stuff to do

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • a decent amount for an 18 year old - created quite a few documents which after review were given to the client, sometimes I did feel though that they could've given me better stuff to do instead of giving me things to pass the time

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

    • hard skills: lots of Microsoft eg excel, visio, powerpoints soft skills: maturity, confidence, what the working world is really like

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • people were pretty hard working but there was conversation that definitely went beyond small talk and sometimes there was a bit of banter and I became good friends with the younger people in the office

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

    • very well - training week (although not sure that what we learnt was completely relevant), lots of intern events, HR support if needed

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

    • training week, opportunity to come back, learnt lots

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

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    Above 25 days holiday

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

    • would prefer to do some work experience somewhere else first, but graduates definitely have a good time here

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • yep - the younger ones on the project went out almost every Tuesday night, on my first project a lot of people met up at weekends and went on holiday together too, lots of intern events organised by HR too

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

    • London so expensive (although I was actually out of town through the week so food and travel was all paid for - amazing!)

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London so good (but expensive and not one area for going out), during the week my first project nightlife was crap - small town with no bars/clubs, second project much better

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • every sports club you can think of, clubs/societies across projects and work streams as well as across the whole firm

    5/5
