    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed it. It was a great insight into working life and was a much better way of spending summer than sat at home twiddling your thumbs. Plus it puts me in a great position for third year.

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

    • I definitely felt like I was part of the team. Everyone was very nice and friendly and treated me with respect. They weren't afraid to give me responsibility in terms of the work they gave me.

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

    • There was always someone around to answer a question and everyone is really approachable here.

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

    • At first I wasn't that busy but after a while when you get up to speed with everything and you get to know everyone, the work for me at least just kept on coming in on its home. Don't be afraid to go and ask for work if you don't have anything to do.

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

    • Quite a bit more than I expected to be honest. People weren't afraid to give me work and were quite supportive, Also no one expects you to do really well, it's more you having a go.

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

    • Organisation skills for one will help massively. Working from 9-5:30 on a day to day basis really helps with that. Also just learning how an office works and what people look for will be an invaluable asset in the future.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere was very relaxed, there was always a conversation going on and it was just very open and friendly.

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

    • Fairly well organised, my champion made sure I got to experience a variety of things and do different pieces of work.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Most of it was just pick it up on the job but we did have a few e-learning modules. As it was only a six week placement we obviously couldn't spend a week training so there's not much more they could have done.

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

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very appealing but I am switching service lines as for me personally, I didn't enjoy the work itself.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • The placement students here went out for lunch every day and had socials on a Friday. It's pretty much up to you how good the social scene is though.

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

    • Relatively good especially for me as I lived at home.

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

    • n/a

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

    • Not that many but we did have weekly football which most of the placement students got involved in. (There wouldn't have been a team without us.)
