    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed my internship a lot. Intel has a strong intern culture which really helped, but also knowing you are doing a job that matters - if you weren't doing it they would be hiring someone else to do it!

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

    • Very valued by my colleagues.

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

    • Not only do you get support from your direct manager but I was also given a buddy (a returned graduate in the department) and a mentor (a senior member of a different department).

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

    • It depends on the time in the quarter, some weeks in the quarter were far busier than others but nothing I couldn't manage.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a lot of responsibility, I was responsible for my own accounts and held accountable for the work i did on those accounts. I was also given projects to work on and lead.

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

    • I have gained a lot of soft skills. Confidence, communication, presentation skills as well as picking up a real work ethic.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere in the office was relaxed and fun. There is a games room, a coffee shop and you are encouraged to take regular breaks.

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

    • The set of the internship was great.

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

    • As an intern you are eligble for many training courses, both online and in person and my manager encouraged me to do these.

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

    • Although they don't hire a large number of interns back as graduates, there is the opportunity and it encourages you to do well as an intern.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • The Sports and Social committee organised lots of events outside of work, there is a very strong intern culture.

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

    • Not too expensive. I paid around £300 a month rent but I know others paid more and less.

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

    • Swindon nightlife is average. Best thing is that you are close to Bristol, Bath, London and Cardiff so plenty of other places to go

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes, SAS organised lots of other things to do
