    The Role

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

    • Great people, great cars, will be working here again!

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

    • Welcomed me into the team, gave me work whenever they could

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

    • The perfect amount, very helpful if you ask but not overly so as to keep you on your toes

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

    • The team try their best to find work for you, worked on many great projects and almost always have at least something to do

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

    • Left to work on a number of things, only being a first year I obviously didn't have huge responsibilities but that's as expected

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

    • Very valuable knowledge of the area and skills in working in a team, talking to people you don't know, being proactive in your work, talking on the phone and in meetings, and more!

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Relaxed environment, very team orientated and people are very happy to help each other.

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

    • A few issues with passes for the areas of the site at the start but everything was sorted fairly quickly, also the teams weren't really told much about what I was there for or how long I was there or anything really but this wasn't a big issue.

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

    • Online training courses given and free training courses available, to be honest I don't think this is particularly applicable at this stage

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • My dream is to work for them

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, the majority of us stayed at the same halls in Coventry and spent a lot of time with them, also spoke to a number of them at work

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

    • Cheap accommodation in Coventry subsidised by JLR, cheap pubs/clubs in Coventry

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

    • Not too bad in Coventry, but not amazing... Other nice places around though e.g. Warwick, Leamington Spa etc, depends where you stay to be honest

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Lots of people with interesting hobbies, easy to find someone to do something with.

    4/5
