The Role

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

I enjoyed getting up for work every day. Great culture, great people, great brands.

5/5

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

You are treated as any other employee- not looked down upon at all. It is recognised that everyone here plays a valuable role in the success of the business.

5/5

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

Whilst people are happy to help, everyone is very busy so you will also have to be a 'go getter' and be prepared to take the initiative to find answers/resolutions

4/5

4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

You will not get bored, believe me.

5/5

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

Given ownership of projects from the first week. You are really empowered to make a difference.

5/5

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

Undoubtedly enhanced my functional business skills, as well as growing personally as an individual.

5/5

The Company

7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

Fun place to be. Work hard/play hard.

5/5

8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

Well organised, however much of it is you discovering how you role works. You are not 'separated' as an intern/placement student- you will have a role that is required by the business.

4/5

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

Thus far there has been limited 'formal' training, but you learn so much more 'on the job', which will happen from day 1 as you are given responsibility immediately for activities/projects that effect the business. I believe the 'formal' training side of things is due to expand significantly in the very near future.

4/5

10. What were the perks on your work placement?

Subsidised/Company Gym

National Travel

Financial Bonus

Company Parties/Events

Above 25 days holiday

Working from home

Healthcare/Dental

5/5

11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

Ambitious company with great culture and exciting growth opportunities- I expect good things in the future.

5/5

The Culture

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

We would go out every fortnight for drinks. Regularly have lunch together.

4/5

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

London is expensive, as I'm sure everyone is aware. Less costly in this area than central London, however.

4/5

14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

I haven't really been out around here where the office is, but public transport is great in London and you can get to loads of areas with good nightlife on a short train ride.

4/5

15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

5-a-side football, ad-hoc events- this side of things is currently growing/ in development, as you may expect with a new company.

4/5
