    The Company

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

    • The other members of my team were great but always got their work done.

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

    • Project was organised well from my manager's side. If I'm completely honest it was a disaster on the HR & IT side of things. I never had access to a computer for the first three weeks of my emails & I would spend days on the phone to the IT help desk without them taking me seriously. Eventually had to be escalated by my manager. This made be feel unvalued as an employee as they only took the problem seriously when my manager was involved. I felt that this was particularly unacceptable as I was a returning intern & they were aware that I would be starting 9 months previously.

    1/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Not a lot to be honest.

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

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

    • I think there is a good chance that they would offer me employment, however I am worried that they will not listen to/fulfil my needs.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Only because myself & other interns/grads arranged them.

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

    • Was okay.

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

    • Not a lot of choice but the places we did go to were great fun. Could have been down to the people though.

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

    • A few from the AGA but nothing of interest so we never took it up.
