    The Role

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

    • I really enjoy my placement. The work is relevant and helps me use the knowledge I have learnt at University and put it into practice. The people within the company are great, everyone is willing to help you and will give you advice if you're not sure on something. It so friendly and just in general a great place to work.

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

    • I have a good relationship with my colleagues, we help each other and everyone works really well together as a team.

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

    • The management, especially my line manager, pushes me in the direction that I want to go in and supports anything that I want to do. It seems as though there is support from all areas to better yourself as this will then in turn improve the business.

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

    • Most days I had a perfect balance of work, however, sometimes there was too much or too little. This gave me new skills in time management and planning which will be useful in the future.

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

    • I was given quite a bit of responsibility. It was like having a proper job and there was always back up there if you needed 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?

    • I learnt alot whilst on placement and although most of the stuff won't benefit the work aspect of Uni it will aid me in the future when I come to get a job after graduation.

    5/5

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

    • The placement is set up well and gives students a chance to experience a variety of sections of the business. There are lots of lines of support and overall I think it is run very well.

    5/5

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • All the placement students get on well and socialise together when they get the chance. The office is a young place and so everyone gets involved on nights out and not just students.
