    The Role

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

    • Took a while to get up to speed with all the going ons in the department but once got over the initial learning curve was very enjoyable

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

    • Was given several projects to work on by a lot of the members which made me feel like a valued member.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My supervisor was excellent guiding me exceptionally well and giving me all the help that was needed and more.

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

    • I always had plenty to be getting on with and was never left with nothing to do.

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

    • It felt like I was given a lot of responsibility but not more than I felt comfortable with and there was always support around me if it got too tough.

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

    • It was slightly outside my degree program but the more competence based skills that I picked up such as time management will certainly be a help in the future.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Started off in a Portacabin a little out of the way but were then promoted to a new office about 3 weeks from the end of my placement and when all members of the team were in the same office was a lot better.

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

    • Very good, had lots of projects set up for me to pick up immediately and lots of manageable targets to achieve.

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

    • Was given access to several meetings to help aid my development and was also shown numerous of Rolls-Royce processes that will help in the future.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Company Car

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

    • Opportunity to return to the same area of the business with no additional interview/application process (as long as you get a good review from your line manager) and ability to go straight to interview if you want to change business areas. If you do the summer internship before you graduate I believe you get a graduate job as long as you do a good job on placement.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Lived in student accommodation with the rest of the interns who chose that option.

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

    • Cost of student accommodation was a bit expensive but was cheapest option for the summer i would imagine.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Derby is Derby is not the most exciting place in the world but close to Alton Towers which was good.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • AGA was there to put on some social events and believe there was rounders and stuff.
