    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • There was a good variety of people to speak to and learn from. The work load was tailored to what I could handle realistically. Overall a good experience to get to know the company.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Everybody was helpful and patient. The seniors were always happy to coach and evaluate your work so I was made to feel like a genuine new starter.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was coached through out the internship as everybody encourages that I asked lots of questions and really understand the tasks that I was expected to complete. There was a little time pressure which is understandable but everybody was patient and understanding that I was interning and the expectations were never unrealistic.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Depending on the jobs, on some I was busy because of approaching deadlines, on others less so because the stage of work needed some technical capabilities beyond my grade. It was a good mix in retrospect.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given enough to keep busy for the day. I rarely felt overloaded with work and the seniors were always ok with me carrying work over as long as I kept them posted through out.

    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 a few accounting modules and having this experience really shifted my perspective on accounting tasks. I can definitely use the skills back at uni with the remaining modules.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The best way to describe it would be professional but relaxed, as long as communication with the supervisors were frequent and informative.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • It was well organised but I wanted some changes here and there, which I was able to organise fairly easily.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Everyone really encouraged me to ask lots of questions. I was given a buddy who was there to answer even the most basis of questions so you don't have to ask them in the open. All the help I needed was there.

    5/5

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

    National Travel

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I am going back there hopefully after I meet the grade requirements, so I was sold on the idea.I like the fact that there is such a variety of people working there and there is opportunities to explore foreign offices at some stage of your career.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • The placement 西瓜视频s were based all over different clients but in general there was a good social vibe.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • The main office was in London so It was expensive. But theres rare opportunities to go on away jobs for a bit where its all expenses paid. I didn't really feel it cause London is where I'm from anyway.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Its London.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Depends on the job really. I was on a job where the client relationship was good and we did have some mixed socials. Other jobs, not so much.

    4/5
