    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Great people are what made the internship so enjoyable. I was also very lucky to be assigned to an interesting project, although others I know had less interesting work.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • This is something that the team I was part of (Insurance regulatory) were absolutely excellent at. I really felt I was leaving a great team that I had become a part of after a very short time.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My 'in-charge' was kind, helpful and gave guidance with great care and attention.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Often alternated between having too little to do, or too much, but this was part of what made the work more exciting.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • It increased over the weeks, as people got to know me. It was about the right amount I thought.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • My degree is quite different from what I was doing, but I feel I was still taught a lot about structuring work and presenting work in a coherent and comprehensible manner.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • This was due to the good humor of my colleagues and their recognition that a vibrant and fun workplace was also an effective one.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Some people I know had days where they had nothing to do. My whole last week I had not been assigned to any specific job, but this was not a problem as the team I was part of had plenty of work they were happy to give to me.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • A lot of time went into us, especially given the short length of the placement. I was very impressed with how much they valued us as employees in this regard.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • 4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I was offered a job, but had hoped to change line of service, and have kindly been told that this will mean I can re-enter at a progressed stage of the process.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • 4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • I lived at home and commuted, so accommodation and food were heavily subsidised by my parents!

    5/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Not a huge concern for me, I assume it was good.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Yes, plenty, if you had the time and felt it worth doing for the short time of the internship.

    4/5
