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

    • I was trained for two jobs very well and then after this you are given independence to complete the work, and the manager/colleagues are always there to help if I ever struggled or needed help.

    4/5

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • I really enjoyed the working atmosphere, the place was relaxed and not too noisy. All the people are friendly and my managers didn't segregate themselves to their teams.

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

    • The work in general was great however we did have a few problems with HR setting up my accounts on the system but mostly fine!

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

    • A lot of support was given to me but I wouldn't call it training, I was learning on the job a lot which I think is better and run through certain aspects with my team members.

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

    • Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I would love to come back and work here again.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was some however I didn't get too involved with this as a lot of them were a lot younger than me.

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

    • Weighing up the price and time for commuting elsewhere makes living nearer work the better choice.

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

    • The area where we worked has a lot of businesses in it so there are lots of pubs and bars to go to.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were some invites to play and hang out.
