    The Role

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

    • I felt it wasn't organised in the best way and this was the main reason that I didn't enjoy my placement

    1/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Some people made me feel really welcome, but a select few made my experience very uncomfortable and really put me off the company. They were rude and unprofessional from the minute I met them and created the wrong impression.

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Some managers were really supportive, but others wouldn't be very helpful at all and didn't make an effort to be around.

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

    • The work was sparse after my first two weeks, it also felt like some people were making stuff up for me to do when I knew it wouldn't be used.

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

    • Very little but not less than I was expecting.

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

    • Didn't really receive any training and the skills I learnt will be useful but probably not incredibly useful

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • It was way quieter and less friendly than I was expecting from previous internships. It felt like talking was prohibited sometimes and I ended up listening to the radio in my earphones because that's waht everybody else was doing.

    2/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Not enough information about the induction event until very late on. During my internship it felt like I was going to have lots of work organised but that wasn't really the case. I also felt like we (the interns) were slightly abandoned sometimes and everyone felt it was someone else's responsibility to deal with us.

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

    • Very little investment. Any training was completed by myself

    1/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I just felt put off by the job by certain people in the business and this saddened me because some people were really nice but it didn't outweigh how bad other people were.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • My fellow interns (even though we had to organise ourselves because there was no attempt from the company to help us become integrated as interns) were really supportive and we had a great time together. Sadly, it felt like our colleague weren't connected with us and they weren't particularly interested in our social activities.

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

    • The cost of my accommodation was very expensive and it meant I won't be earning much from the internship.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Didn't want to explore the nightlife because of the bad experiences I had in the city.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • One leaving party but nothing like societies.
