    • Decent bunch of blokes.

    3/5

    1/5

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • Fairly dull, it was just the nature of the work.

    2/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I feel like it would not have made much difference if I was not there.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Not much, the occasional meeting with my manager didn't really make any difference and working with other staff just meant sitting watching them work.

    2/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Good, but only within a different department, NMP is not the right career for me.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Fantastic, after work it was great hanging out with the other interns.

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

    • Once a week was fine, it was hard at the start since it took nearly six weeks before we got paid.

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

    • Coventry had one decent club but lots of nice pubs.

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

    • Lots of gyms, and JLR offer free learning courses up to a value of £200 for staff.
