    The Role

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

    • The work is undoubtedly interesting and challenging to keep you interested throughout the internship (and hopefully beyond that) but they also explain it very well and repeatedly if necessary. I really enjoyed the work and the balance you get by working on different projects.

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

    • Theres always a TW group going to lunch or out after work and they really welcome you in to all the events and are very friendly,

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

    • You have a Line Manager and Buddy, both of whom are invaluable. They explain work, give you work and most importantly feedback on your work! They also explain the more mundane and everyone is really friendly and supportive generally around the office so you never feel lost

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

    • Some days are busier than others. It really depended on the amount coming in but people were more than happy to give you work when you're free and give it to someone else if you were busy. I never felt over worked or under worked which was a great balance for me.

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

    • There really isnt much to be responsible for but you are a part of the client teams you work on a lot the work you do is important and you're responsible for it.

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