    The Role

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

    • It was a challenge with some particular jobs and it might not have always been fun but I really enjoyed my team and the office environment.

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

    • They were all very welcoming to begin with and I felt very comfortable talking to any of them. in such an open office it's easy to approach anyone and discuss anything. At times I felt valued but I worried that any mistakes I made would make me seem less reliable to others but they all knew I was trying my best and getting used to a new working way. I built up a really strong work relationship with them over time.

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

    • My manager was really supportive and put a lot of faith in me. The only thing was that I didn't see him enough - he's a very busy man! But I don't think I can complain about that too much. Felt very lucky to be part of his team.

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

    • I was very busy every day with little time for other things as there were lots of requests for me to do. I enjoyed being busy as I wouldn't have wanted to not have enough on. Perhaps it would have been nice to breathe for a little while though!

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was involved in some of the core business practices such as sending out a daily report to the whole company which made me feel very important! I enjoyed being given this responsibility although at times I did feel a little outoof my depth and overwhelmed but that definitely helped to give me confidence.

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

    • Having written a monthly log for my university it meant that I recorded all the skills I've developed and it's good to have a look back and think about the personal development with things like time management and confidence (which was something that I definitely needed to work on).

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Every knew that there was work to be done but there was still a good level of 'banter' and it was really enjoyable to work with these people. The office had a really positive atmosphere and lots of people socialised outside of work too.

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

    • I think it was organised well and as I was taking over from a previous intern I already had a set role etc.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Car

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events

    Above 25 days holiday
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I really like Nissan as a company and I so enjoyed my role with them but we'll have to see what happens in the future - I think I'll definitely apply to the grad scheme but whether it is right for me or not I'll have to see (not sure about doing a 6 monthly rotation as I think I'd like to stay in Marketing after such a fun year).

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Some weeks were better than others. Although we had organised a few things I would be keen to do a few more. We all get on really well - 11 of us from Nissan and 12 from Renault (building next door).

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

    • cost of living a bit more expensive than a normal university city but nothing extortionate.

    0/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I lived at home as this was most convenient for me so I didn't really try out the local nightlife

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

    • I was keen to join a gym and play sport and there were plenty of opportunities for these activities.
