    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed it a lot. I think the only drawback was the commute as I really enjoyed my work and the day to day tasks I had to undertake.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Everyone in the team were so friendly. I felt immediately very welcome which made it very sad when it came to the last day!

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

    • My boss was always sitting next to me so I could always turn to her if I had any questions or issues.

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

    • I was never kicking my heels. I always had something to do and it wasn't just the same task. I had a variety of things to do such as telephone calls and organsing meetings.

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

    • Loads of responsibility. I was invited to attend a meeting outside the office 2 days into my placement. I hit the ground running and was expected to keep up which was a challenge but a great experience.

    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 do a science degree so working in sales and marketing won't help me too much. But if I do become a manager of a technology firm for example, it will be great to have a bit of knowledge about how the sales side of the industry works

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere was so friendly and really buzzing on most days. I come from a university with a male-female ratio of 70-30. It was basically reversed here so it was great to experience a less male dominated environment.

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

    • Really well organised. There was loads given out at the start and the placement really focused on our personal development. The CV and interview day was extremely useful

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

    • The placement really focused on our personal development. The CV and interview day was extremely useful

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They didn't really want me to leave but I'm not too likely to come back as it's not the sector I'd see myself working in in the future. Always an option though!

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • A lot of stuff was organised by the interns. I wasn't too involved though. I would perhaps have been if I was living in London and not commuting.

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

    • London is really expensive.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London has amazing nightlife.... but is really expensive.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • They have loads of fundraising events which they're always keen to get you involved in

    5/5
