    The Role

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

    • The social programme was excellent, and the interns were closely looked after. However, I really struggled to find work to do on my initial project, and with one major exception, felt that this was a minimal priority for team members. Fair enough if they were busy and didn't have time to explain, but a failing of the project allocation-team.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Valued, but underworked. One major exception to this, who was genuinely helpful and seemed anxious to present the best insight available.

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

    • Some, but not much. Again, one or two major exception.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Sometimes extremely busy, but other days thumb-twiddling for hours.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Limited on my first project. Virtually no client-facing responsibility.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Some way: expectation management, professionalism, interacting with professional colleagues, improved business acumen, Microsoft excel and communication skills all improved too

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Pretty friendly and laid back

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

    • Well organised with the exception of within my project, where there was virtually nothing to do. Additionally, the HR team frequently asked me for the same document again and again, despite having provided it several times.

    1/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
