    The Role

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

    • The internship was very useful. I learned a lot both from a purely theoretical standpoint as well as for existing best practices. There were a lot of employees who are experts in their respective field of work and have valuable advice.

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

    • During the internship quite a few of the employees do not bother to get to know interns because they are short-term employees. However during the final presentation I've had people talking to me about it who were very fascinated by my achievements. It really depends on the team I guess.

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

    • Both management and senior management will always try and help out. Sometimes they are quite busy but as long as you don't ask nonsensical questions they will help out.

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

    • There were both periods of inactivity and periods where it would be necessary to stay after hours

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

    • I genuinely felt that the project I was given played a role in the production environment.

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

    • To my studies - not so much. But to my future practical skills and knowledge - quite a bit.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Quite busy and lively. The office does strike as a busy place. Very strict and professional. Still people try to be friendly and relax with jokes and random activities.

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

    • Depends on the manager. Mine was exceptional at organising me.

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

    • There are plenty of training sessions and talks which can be attended for free and will be quite open in terms of participation.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Definitely great. I do consider them one of the best employers in London.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was definitely a good atmosphere between colleges. Many of them are quite open to after work activities.

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

    • Quite high. Central London can be expensive. Nevertheless commuting is quite easy to central places and the subsidised canteen plays a good role.

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

    • I would not go to Canary Wharf for a night out.e

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

    • After work parties and drinks are quite common between colleges. There wasn't much else other than that.
