    The Role

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

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

    • Good team members, many of whom appreciated my contributions to the overall team.

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

    • My manager was very supportive, she was extremely helpful in times of need and provided much advice over the year, she was willing to push me to better myself when she saw potential in me.

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

    • Very busy. My position was customer facing so it involves more interactions than perhaps other interns in Finance, I ended up having to talk a lot over email and the phone. At times it may have felt like I had too much on my plate, but even so I had the full support of my team and manager.

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

    • A lot, the role involved much customer interaction, where in many cases I spoke with customers directly.

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

    • Intel has a vast training profile, offering skill development of advanced techniques on common programs like Excel, whilst also covering presentation, project management and communication skill development . One of the training sessions that stood out for me was the coding classes.

    4/5

    • Fun when need be, we had a couple of interns in our team which made the experience much more fun.

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

    • The placement set up is good, there are many interns at Intel so they have a team to prepare us. The current interns are also heavily involved in ensuring that the next batch of interns are prepared for their placement.

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

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

    • The company has a good culture and work ethic, I like the open nature of the organisation and could definitely see myself coming back as a graduate.

    The Culture

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

    • There are many interns (around 60) so there is always some event, night out or social activity going on.

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

    • Cost of living is cheaper than most cities, but to live close to the office is quite expensive. Expect to find decently priced places about 30 mins walk from the office.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Not so great,

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