    The Role

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

    • At times extremely interesting but on a day to day outlook often fairly slow and not very challenging.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Fantastic team who made me feel very welcome although ideally they would have better resembled my own age/sex.

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

    • I feel i could have recieved more direction during the internship but my supervisor was very helpful on a dayto day basis.

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

    • Rarely too busy but often if the the work was minimal in the queue then the work was slow.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Responsibility over my own work flow but little more.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Certainly not a waste of time but other than the knowledge i gained from self arranged opporunities the day to day role is unlikely to make a huge impact on my later studies or jobs.

    2/5

    The Company

    • Dissapointing when trying to arrange after work social events but in office ours a fantastically friendly atmosphere.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Good generally but i certianly felt left out not being in the London program.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Obviously some investment has been made but i felt it could have been more catered to my personal strengths and weaknesses.

    National Travel

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

    • Certainly interested in the opportunities within the wider business, not necessarily in the exact role inwhich my internship focused.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Apart from very limited London only events that we were able to visit the social scene was very limited. Given a hotle for one event which was fantastic but otherwise logisitically difficult if we wanted to enjoy organised activities.

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Newcastle-under-Lyme is very cheap.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It is cheap but very quiet with regards to office life.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Again there were limited opportunities on this front as people wrent interested.
