    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • The two six month placements I have been in have both been great! Varied responsibility and the chance to really get stuck into some key HR areas.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Both teams have really appreciated the work that I have done and you are really counted on as a true employee rather than a 'work experience to do the filing and make the drinks'.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • The HR team that manage the Industrial Placement students have always offered their support from the beginning. In terms of the manager you have, I think support is varied, however I have always felt supported by the team and manager. In my second placement I have had fortnightly one to one's which are really beneficial and if I do need to query anything my manager always explains thoroughly. I think there is a certain amount that they just let you get on and do, but I think that is what you need to learn things yourself.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Work load has varied however there has never been a day where I have sat with nothing to do!

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • The level of responsibility that I was given from day 1 exceeded my expectations!

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The skills and training I have recieved on the job will be most beneficial in future jobs and the projects I have worked on has helped me decide on a dissertation topic.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The environment in the office is very friendly and relaxed.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I have been very impressed with the organisation of the placement, from our induction week to the allocation of projects throughout the year.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Quarterly training days were held with an external company that helped develop key skills such as communication, presentation, and time management. Working in HR, I was also exposed to employment law update sessions.

    4/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Flexi Time

    Company Car

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Above 25 days holiday

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • My contract has been extended through summer, and there is also the possibility of securing a graduate job with them.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There are quite a few IP's, graduates, apprentices and french interns throughout the company that gives you the opportunity to socialise out of work quite a lot.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Cost of living is relatively cheap in Coventry.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • There are not a large amount of bars and clubs to go to in the evening in Coventry. Birmingham and Leamington Spa are not too far away if you do fancy a better night out!

    1/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There is a netball and football team that employees can get involved with.

    3/5
