    The Role

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

    • It was a great experience, where you are given a lot of responsibility.

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

    • The company makes you feel welcome and you are treated as an equal. You are treated as an employee and not an intern.

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

    • Everyone is approachable and happy to help whenever you have any questions. This stretches further than the people in your immediate circles.

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

    • This can vary, dependant on what is available, at the start the workload wasn't great but there has been weeks where I have been completely kept busy.

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

    • You are given the right amount of work for your skill set. I wasn't expected to know how to do technical work as the internship wasn't really long enough. However the team includes you and is more than happy to show you any work they are on.

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

    • I have developed a lot of transferable skills such as organization and communication which will put me in good stead for university and work afterwards.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Well organized, even though it is a short internship there is a lot packed into the time to give you a good experience.

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

    • They invest a lot with the induction and training in general. You definitely see that they want you to come back and work for them.

    4/5

    • Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very appealing, there are various roles in different service lines. There is also help to transfer internally.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, the Intern atmosphere is really good. Open and friendly, however I don't think it is something that relates specifically to this internship. I assume its the same with most.

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

    • Fairly manageable

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

    • Average

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There aren't too much, but that was because it was over the summer. There does seem to be a lot going outside of the workplace throughout the year.
