    The Role

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

    • Very enjoyable and interesting

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

    • Everyone made the effort to make you feel welcome and it felt like you'd been working there for much longer than it actually was

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

    • I saw my manager daily and could easily raise any concerns or problems I had

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

    • I never was in a situation where I was working outside my work hours, I had projects to work on so it was up to me to schedule my own time to ensure I hit my targets

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

    • I was responsible for a number of things that are now being used within the company. However, all my work was checked and suggestions improved as I went.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I've learnt invaluable communication and problem solving skills that will be so useful in the future. I've also learnt to write very complex Excel macros when I did not have this skill before

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Very relaxed, no pressure and a good working environment

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

    • The HR team have ensured that the placement has been organised perfectly

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

    • I now have an opportunity to return after I graduate on a graduate scheme or have another interview to get onto a leadership scheme. They are prepared to invest in your future.

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

    • 2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Could take a job (if my final review doesn't go terribly) on a graduate scheme. However, I am electing to take another interview to try and get onto a leadership scheme. In short, very appealing.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • I was with 4 other Interns all of whom were up for having fun and going out at the weekends. We played golf a few times after work and occasionally met up in the evenings

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

    • Glasgow is a fairly cheap city to live in and costs a little amount to go out. The city is quite beautiful (contrary to what many think) and has every major high street shop you can imagine. I'm thinking I may want to live up here in the future!

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

    • Simply spoilt for choice. Although my placement was in East Kilbride, Glasgow city centre has infinite possibilites for nights out, most of which were cheap and such a good laugh. The general public in Scotland make going out feel a lot more fun and safe than in some English cities.

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

    • Amongst the other Interns we organised outside of work activites, such as golf and karting. However, there was nothing set by the company in the area of the country that I was working.
