    The Role

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

    • It took a few weeks to warm up to the pace of the job, but the work and level of responsibility put my way was fantastic. I was doing a proper job, directly impacting the service and recommendations we gave to clients.

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

    • We went for a meal and drinks once of twice, and there was good banter in the office!

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

    • All the training was top notch. Both within my team and from the training staff I received all the help I need right the way through. They were patient with me and didn't care if I asked the same things more than once!

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

    • I was very busy a lot of the time, but that's what I wanted!

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

    • I was left to my own devices after a couple of months, though a lot of the work has to be checked over by another team member anyway.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Fantastic experience that will surely help when I come to get a proper full time job after university

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Good chat and sense of humour from all those around me, but definitely a serious environment to work in first and foremost.

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

    • I was well catered for from day 1 and always treated like a proper member of staff by everyone around.

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

    • Full training and help with all I needed to do to the same high level as the other staff.

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

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

    • I was told I'd be welcomed back if I wanted to return - not quite as concrete as a genuine job offer, but as good as!

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I didn't really get myself involved too much, but people clearly went out for a drink every now and then.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Well, it's London!

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

    • It's London, so I guess it's fine. Just not my scene really. I was there to work and gain experience, not go clubbing round the corner!

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

    • Lots of things ranging from charity events to talks in schools. I didn't get involved, but it was clear that Saunderson House had a lot going on all the time.
