    The Role

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

    • The department wasn't for me (not the sort of work I wanted to do) so it wasn't _that_ fun

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

    • Averagely welcoming, no special efforts made but not hostile or unsociable.

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

    • My supervisor himself hasn't contributed much, but the person who he designated to look over me has, though not always helpfully or succinctly

    2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Had periods of a few hours with nothing to do at the start

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

    • A reasonable amount.

    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 don't feel I've gained too many skills other than a slightly higher proficiency in Excel.

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • Chit chat allowed, but surprisingly little banter, hence reasonably dull.

    2/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Excellently organised

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

    • No training other than being put in the department

    1/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I'm pretty sure large corporate companies are not for me

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • but I didn't live near them, so it was useless to me.

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

    • N/A - I lived with my parents

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

    • N/A - see above. Also, I don't care.

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

    • None very appealing and travel arrangements were always difficult

    2/5
