    The Role

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

    • It was a very enjoyable experience as i was allowed to choose what teams and what kind of project i want to get involved in. My personal aims and aspirations were considered seriously.

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

    • We go out for pub lunches or bike rides at times. Very welcoming team with no discrimination. Old and you dont matter.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • It was called "tough love" at the start where i was allowed to drown or swim hard to stay afloat. However, everything was worth it at the end. After the long 3 months struggle, i was given responsibilities like no other. I was allowed to run many projects and make decisions on them.

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

    • Very busy, but it is better than the other extreme. Busy and engaging at the same time, thus i dont mind.

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

    • Plenty! I have 1 million pounds worth of project on my head.

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

    • Everything was great investments. I picked up a lot of soft skills that i would have never picked up from university life. Approaches to problems that are exclusive to the working world.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • My team is fun as we can talk and joke around. Age difference is well disregarded.

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

    • Apart from the initial 2 weeks of IT hiccups. everything else was smooth.

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

    • Quite limited. It is understandable as I was not a permanent employee yet. Investing too much on me will be a waste of the company's resources.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • Rolls-Royce Plc. engineering does not get any better than this.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • It was all right. A little different as most colleagues already have families of their own.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Derby is cheap!

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

    • Almost nothing? But i dont go out anyway.

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

    • Some football sessions, bike rides and pub lunches. Not too bad
