    The Role

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

    • Overall I enjoyed it quite a lot, the people that I worked with made it very enjoyable. There were good days and not so good days just as with every job.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt very valued and was constantly thanked for doing work that they could have even done themselves.

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

    • They don't spoon-feed you the information, but give you limited guidance which allows you to find the information yourself.

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

    • Ocassionally bored but asked for more work and was given it. Also ocassionally too busy but again, I let my manager's know and they eased off some of my work load.

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

    • Not loads of responsibility but that was my own choice really - I wanted to experience a lot so was put on 4 projects and thus couldn't be given a lot of responsibility on any of them as didn't know a lot about them in depth.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Not as much with my degree studies (I study maths) but the skills that you learn are invaluable for your future career.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Definitely more fun than not fun, but don't expect it to be like Uni!

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The only fault here is that they don't tell you where your placement will be until 2 days before you're supposed to start, which doesns't give you very much time to adjust or ask any questions you might have! Otherwise it was perfectly organised.

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

    • They had a whole week of training for us, but some of it didn't seem that relevant/useful. Apart from this we weren't given any training for the rest of the time.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events

    Working from home
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They offer better benefits to Grad students than to interns and 95% of the interns get offered a grad placement.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • A good social scene amongst my project team but not amongst fellow placement students - we were split up on all different projects and nothing was organised during our 8 weeks to get us together which was a shame.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Very expensive to live in London!!!

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Good nightlife in London, but expensive.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Quite a few opportunities, but none that particulalry appealed to me - though I appreciated the attempt!
