    • I am glad I went but felt very awkward there and under appreciated

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

    • I wasn't introduced to anybody. Nobody there really appreciated you helping them out with jobs which they didn't have time to do

    1/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • If i asked for help, they would help but apart from that not really

    1/5

    The Company

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

    • The office was pretty much silent, I know they are busy but I found it quiet that it almost felt awkward. There didn't seem to be much atmosphere and love as a whole temam

    1/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • When I first organised the placement they were great but after that I heard no email response from them even when I tried to contact them. There was always things for me to do when I got there but I think that's because they have lots of work experience students

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

    • I was only there a week so wasn't really the opportunity

    1/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

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

    • I think it would be fun to work at Bliss as long as it wasn't on work experience. I didn't like the atmosphere so wouldn't consider going back!

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • A few members of the team seemed to get on quite well and socialise together. I wasn't invited anywhere with them but maybe as I was only there a week

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Tunbridge Wells is quite expensive but a nice place.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Didn't explore much, I think there are a few bars. Not sure about whether there was any clubs

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

    • Nothing was organised/mentioned to me
