    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I have gotten a great insight into what my initial years at the company will be like. However, I did not get to experience different areas of department. It would have been useful to rotate to gain a knowledge of my department a bit more. I did get to meet a lot of interesting and senior people which helped me when considering my future career. The work was a bit too admin based however, and felt like a temp job at times.

    3/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was given differing work by my whole team and the work I did contributed to the team output at different levels (including at board level). I was always given feedback and made to feel as if I were an asset, rather than a burden

    4/5

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

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

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • From the beginning, I was entrusted with doing work alone and was given responsibility for my own timetable. I was able to ask for help if needed and I was given feedback which helped with my development. I was invited to high level meetings and asked to contribute. I felt like I was a part of the team and not just an intern. The work that I am doing is done using my own initiative and planning; it was daunting at first but helpful for my learning experience

    4/5

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

    The Company

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

    2/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • It could have been better organised. I felt that the induction week was not useful and far too long for what was covered
