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

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • All interns were introduced to the various aspects of the company and checked up upon. My manager valued my need to get experience across different areas and learn new things.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Training was given for the version control system used, but most valuable was the feeling that the company and my team valued my personal development over me just getting whatever work was available done.

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • It's better than I could have expected, and I'd enjoy being able to return.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Interns chatted and a few events were held, but most of us knew each other from University anyway!

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

    • Average room and food prices, good nearby pubs and towns.

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

    • London nearby

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

    • For longer term employees there are, but they're mostly arranged much in advance so impractical for a placement duration.
