    The Role

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

    • The year I worked at Janssen has been the best year of my life. I have had so many new experiences and met loads of people as well as made friends for life.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

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

    • I couldn't have asked for a more supportive and caring manager. She would take time out to help me whenever I needed it. She also trusted me to get on with my job without supervision.

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

    • I had very busy times and not so busy times.

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

    • For a great deal of my placement I was the only person working on my brand.

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

    • I know I will have no trouble in finding a graduate role after this year and that I will work harder in my third year at university.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone was really nice but there were not that many people working in my particular department.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I cannot fault the organisation of my placement.

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

    • They invested a lot. It is just a shame most of the training took place in the latter half of my placement.

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

    • I have made many valuable contacts whom I hope would put in a good word for me should I apply after university.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Everyone got on splendidly and went out together on regular occassions.

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

    • Not too bad considering how close it is to London. Taxi's are quite cheap.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Really not great but there are some bars in High Wycombe. It's not too far from London so if you want a really good night out then head there.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
