    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed working in the client site, for such a well-known client name. People were always impressed when I told them who I was working for.

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

    • My colleagues made me feel incredibly valued, often complimenting me on the skills I had so far (for an undergraduate) and my desire to learn more.

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

    • Some managers in my team treated me really well, gave me advice whenever they thought I needed it or sought it out. Although some barely spoke to me or acknowledged me, the others more than made up for this.

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

    • There were peaks and troughs and I had to adapt according to the workload.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • The first month was all about getting familiar with the work at hand and from then on I was given responsibility based on my past performance.

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

    • They really helped me to acquire skills that can be highly beneficial for my career beyond uni.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • We had fun but had to be very mindful that we were in the client office, working side-by-side with the client. We could make jokes (we had many in-jokes), people would bring in treats/snacks so it was a great environment for the majority of the time.

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

    • Overall, it was well managed.

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

    • Colleagues were often more than happy to show new technologies but this wasn't official/structured training.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They have offered me a job provided I get a 2:1 or above.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • I made some excellent friends I will stay friends with forever.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London was so expensive! Quite difficult for me on 17k as I didn't have any friends/family in London when I moved there.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Amazing.

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

    • We had regular work events which were funded by work and practically always included a free bar tab, so we always had fun at those!
