    The Role

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

    • Really interesting scope of work, with lots of variety

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

    • I felt the firm really valued the employees' efforts, and is very fair in treatment of employees.

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

    • Not much support offered up front, which I actually feel was a good thing, as it threw me straight into the deep end, and forced me to find my feet and grow in confidence. However, I had no problems finding the support when I needed it.

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

    • Varied- one week non stop, one week nothing to do, mostly somehwere in between.

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

    • Lots of responsibility, but I was able to ask for help when it was needed.

    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've learnt loads about the business world and what to expect from full time employment.

    5/5

    The Company

    • Colleagues we really easy to get along with, but the office atmosphere was very much work- focused.

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

    • Was left with very few questions about my internship.

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

    • They spent a lot of time explaining the work to me, so that I was fairly autonomous by the end, having had lots of training towards the start of the placement.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They are, apparently, keen to take on their interns, so I hopefully will get a job!

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • We had a regional induction which was a great social affair, but I was the only intern in my office, so no social scene there!

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

    • Pretty well priced.

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

    • Never went for a night out there, so couldn't say.

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

    • There's lots there, but you do have to dig them out.
