    The Role

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

    • I thought my colleagues were very nice, the salary and hours were good but the internal schedulers did not seem to give any regard to my CV so I was placed in an area of the company that none of my strengths or interests applied to.

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

    • My team made a real effort to make me feel involved.

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

    • They were very understanding and helpful

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

    • I was split between two managers whose work differed in terms of loose goals and fixed tasks so was hard to balance the two. I think i did more work for one than the other.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • The work I was given was clearly part of what my managers would have to do anyway so it felt relevant.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Not relevant to degree but useful for career as both company and client names have great reputation and set me out as different.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • It was fine, fairly quiet but could have been due to the summer holidays.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Not very, the HR seemed to be on holiday for the whole placement time and any details information about roles and events last minute. There were no intermediary events/brown bags/meetings set up as promised.

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

    • The first week was a good introduction into Consulting, they made a big effort to make us feel prepared.

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

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

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

    • Only if schedulers assigned roles to strengths and interests laid out.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Sometimes hard as people were based out of town but I would say I made 3 good friends.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • High - Canary Wharf

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

    • Did not really go out, there isn't much in Canary wharf past about 11pm

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I was in the notting hill carnival procession with a colleague.
