    The Role

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

    • Challenging, enjoyable work. Intel hires over 40 interns each year and its nice to be part of a wider group of people from different backgrounds - it also means you quickly learn about different parts of the business as we all work for different business groups. The company provides benefits which are too long to list here.

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

    • I work in a small team (IS engineering) and we are treated as equal members with responsibility for maintaining and developing our own applications.

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

    • While we are expected to be resourceful and solve problems on our own we received great support from the full time members of staff, especially in the first few months of the internship.

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

    • Every day is different with a mix of fixing issues, improving existing tools and working with business stakeholders to understand their problems and develop new solutions.

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

    • A lot including complete autonomy over day to day work.

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

    • The mandatory training was somewhat useful, however the skills (both software development and project management) I developed on the job are invaluable and will continue to benefit me both in my final year at Uni and my future career.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • We have mini golf in our cube...

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

    • Really well. We join as blue badge (full time) members of staff and integrate as normal employees. They also have a mailing list for interns so that we can easily organize events and encourage us to form committees to organize activities and events.

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

    • In my team there wasn't funding to do external courses, I have however done several internal courses that are relevant to my job. There are also opportunities to do online training but I haven't taken advantage of these.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    The Culture

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

    • We join as blue badge (full time) members of staff and integrate as normal employees. They also have a mailing list for interns so that we can easily organize events and encourage us to form committees to organize activities and events.

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

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

    • Old Town has some nice pubs, New Town has a few clubs and is a good night out with friends.

    4/5
