    The Role

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

    • It was an amazing company to work for and the working environment was somewhere that I enjoyed coming into every morning.

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

    • Everyone was so welcoming from the day I started, especially my team members. Most people from outside the area I worked within Nestle were also extremely kind and treated me like I was an employee rather than a student.

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

    • My mentor was excellent and I could always go to them for help or if I was needing some more work to do. My line manager was brilliant too, always giving me advice and help when needed.

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

    • There could have been a bit more work for me to do as some days I wasn't very busy, this is definitely something that needed to be improved and I expressed this to my mentor.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a lot of responsibility from managing an emergency phone to planning trips down to Gatwick to give presentations. I felt extremely responsibility and a real member of the team.

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

    • 100% my skills have developed for the better. I was told on my end of year review how I have grown from when I started and I believe I can use these new skills for future jobs and in my life.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere in the office was professional but also an enjoyable one.

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

    • As mentioned before it would have been ideal to have more work on during my placement but the whole placement was brilliant and the work that I was involved in was organised.

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

    • I set my objectives at the start of the year and overcame them all, for example I wanted to improve on my presentation skills so I was given plenty of chances to do this and was given the opportunity to travel to Gatwick on my own to present.

    4/5

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Socialised outside of work on a regular occurrence and not just with the placement students, the team made every effort to attend work nights out or lunches!

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

    • I lived at home during my placement (Leeds) so the petrol cost was high and I would stay at one of the placement students house in York if I was to go out with them one evening.

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

    • Had some fun nights in York town.

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

    • As I lived in Leeds during the placement and had my social life back at home too I tended to go straight home after work.
