    The Role

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

    • I didn't really enjoy it for the majority of the placement. The woman instructed to manage me was very lovely and nearly all the highlihts were when I was made to travel and got to see her.

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

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

    • Due to not being with the team it was hard to feel supported but my boss did her best to make sure I knew what was goung on and was very understanding if I didn't

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

    • A lot of the time I had nothing at all to do.

    1/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • When I had a piece of work I felt as though I had responsibility. Furthermore, I was allowed to sit with two other teams and that required discretion.

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

    • Office skills were useful but a lot of the skills I had already learned. A lot of the information was very specific to the role of the team.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Barely knew anybody.

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

    • I found the whole thing very badly organised. It took a long time to learn the placement and then the communication was poor.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The programme itself is very good on a CV

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    National Travel
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • It would depend on what else I experienced from now. I would not want to work the job I had in my internship.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • I wasn't with my team or any other interns. I ate lunch by myself every day I wasn't travelling whilst other offices were very social and many people lived together.

    1/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Did not socialise.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Unknown, did not socialise at work. I guess the area would be good though.

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

    • Charity challenge (although also with this none of the team were in my office.)
