    The Role

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

    • Project was constained by the merger with AON but this was unforseen so could not of been avioded. I would of like more scope to make changes within the company but I understand how my motivation to change thnigs can be unrealistic in Hewitt.

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

    • My line manager [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] was excellent and a pleasure to work for even though he is not based in the London he has made every effort to have continious communication and even coming up to London for a couple of days a week shows his committment to the CSR interns. Others that I emailed or called during my placement have been very willing to help and have repsonded quickly to my requests.

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

    • [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] My line manager has a million and one things on his plate and has given us so much help taking the current situation in to account.

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

    • Having developed a huge amount of skills this year I thought that maybe I would just be using the same ones. I was proved wrong striaght away as there is a certain tac to dealing with people and getting people to change their office culture is a very hard thing to do. It has definately been a positive expereince for me where I have developed various skills which I did not have before I started the intern.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere is dry and it could do with some plants and some imagery in order to make it a more relaxing environment. [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions]

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

    • Very well organised, my first couple of meetings were planned and I even has a buddy which I could always rely on. [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions]

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

    • The project was based around our own initiative and motivation so there was no personal development or training.

    2/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • CSR is not huge at Hewitt and therefore unlikely to be given a job offer. With the marger happening their maybe opportunities but we will have to wait and see.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Poker night plus being invited out a couple of times by those around me did make me feel more comfortable and relaxed.

    4/5
