    The Role

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

    • I loved it, definitely preferred it to Uni. Great people and working environment, and I got to work on some genuinely interesting projects.

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

    • Everyone is really friendly, and fun to chat too. They helped me as and when needed.

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

    • The support from my line managers was fantastic. For the most part I was trusted to get on with work but had no issues with asking for help or support when faced with something I had not done before.

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

    • I never felt like there was nothing to do, and it was easy to go and ask people for work when my projects were at a stage that didn't require much of my input.

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

    • Was allowed the freedom to 'get on with work' and deliver tasks with only the necessary input from my superiors. At no point did it feel like 'step by step' instructions were being handed to me to complete tasks like some other placements.

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

    • Learnt a lot more useful skills than just book work from University.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Quite fun yet hard working.

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

    • Very well structured first few months to account for training etc. It 'just worked' for the rest of the year :)

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

    • I have been sent on many external courses. Participated in some great workshops and activities that I wasn't necessarily required for, but because they were seen as a great opportunity and a learning experience for my personal development

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

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

    • Little dfficult but If a position was available, I would not think twice about applying!

    5/5

    • Living in Liverpool meant a great social life.

    4/5

    • Relatively cheap.

    3/5

    5/5
