    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Extremely welcoming team, state-of-the-art technology, beautiful location, very good learning experience.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Went out for a curry and drinks night with team towards end of time. Looked forward to coming into work everyday. I was very lucky with my manager and team, others maybe not as much

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Cannot praise my manager more for his support and guidance. Was the perfect balance between letting me get on with stuff and making sure I knew how to do everything and what the final objective was.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Very busy, especially during the middle of the internship. Nothing was particularly difficult, just a lot of stuff to do. Completed everything in time, so last week have not had much to do.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • In my intern team I was the business lead role. That meant a lot of responsibility and accountability. Within my actual job role, there wasn't that much room for my input on changing anything, however the project I was given gave me room to drastically improve processes and had a very satisfying end product.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • In terms of degree, probably not that much, as physics is very particular and working in a bank would not really impact my studies. However beyond a degree, I don't think you will get many better placements in the world.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Very new, pleasant, great technology, got on well with my team, but you are here to work.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very well in parts.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • They pay you extremely well. They always refer to you as junior talent, whenever you have talks. They give you basically the same responsibility that a graduate would have but for ten weeks.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Financial Bonus

    Working from home

    Healthcare/Dental

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Have not heard back as the internship has not finished, however am quietly confident.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs/colleagues?
  • Yes, going out most weekends, reminded me of first year of uni.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Bournemouth is very cheap considering how much you get paid.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Okay in parts, beach is lovely in good weather, however most cities don't have that good nightlife over the summer, as universities are not running.

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Yes various sports teams football, rounders etc. Unfortunately got injured so couldn't play that much.

    4/5
