    • I enjoyed this thoroughly but there were some negatives

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

    • Most of the time but on occasion others were too busy to give me time in their schedule

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

    • I feel little guidance was given outside a few of the graduates. The people higher up had little to suggest for the development of yourself

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

    • Highly dependent day to day but overall I was busy a lot of the time

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

    • Not a huge amount due to the frequency of the rotations

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I do history so it has no correlation. After that it may be useful as I learnt about the business environment
