    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I enjoyed the internship a lot. It was challenging at first however after a couple weeks you get into the swing of things and stuff starts to become a bit easier.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I feel valued by my team. I've had members of my team ask me questions about the current project we are working on, and then use my answer as the next step in their own work.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • All the questions I asked no matter how basic were answered well by my manager. This ranged from basic questions to do with email etiquette all the way up to hard technical questions which required peoples time to sit down and explain it to me.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Really depends on the day. Some days were much quieter than others, however every time I felt like I did not have enough work I did not feel afraid to ask for more.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was working on the project my team was currently doing. This meant that without some of the work I had to do my team would not be able to move forward in developing a solution. Obviously this work could have been done by someone else in the team, but it was nice to be given work that actually had an instant impact on the progress my team was making.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The majority of the new skills I developed were soft skills, so stuff like how to communicate effectively, working in a team etc.

    3/5
