    • The placement was an enjoyable and insightful experience.

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

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

    • The support and guidance offered was fantastic. Managers are there to help you with any issues and offer regular feedback.

    • Varies from day to day. Some days are pretty busy and others pretty quiet.

    The Company

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

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

    • The internship was set up reasonably well. I was able to choose the dates of my contract and was even able to have this extended. Most weeks I was aware of what projects I would be working on.

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

    • As this was a summer internship, I was not able to work towards professional accreditation. However, regular CPD talks were organised for the office which I was able to attend if I wished.

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

    • 2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Subject to performance, the company offers further placements or graduate positions.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • As the office was small, they did not take on many students. However, the office had social events such as local comedy nights, meals out and drinks after work.

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

    • I was placed in London, so living costs are high. Expect to have high travel costs.

    3/5

    • Seemed to be okay.

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