    The Role

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

    • It was really great - I felt I had the trust of my team to get on with some really important projects which will put me in a good position going forward. The team were really friendly, the charity has some great events and overall I feel in a good position to get a job in the area (I now know) I want to be.

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

    • I felt like I was providing value, which is important, and had a mix of support and lead roles. My contribution was always welcome, feedback always forthcoming and overall everyone took an interest in my development.

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

    • We struck a really great balance of independent work and supervised work, and I she was always supportive of my (many) questions and willing to give her time to helping me

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

    • I never lacked a job and I was able to proactively seek work from other team members to supplement my experience, too.

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

    • I took the lead on three studies, which whilst supervised properly, and open to being changed, made me feel trusted and like I was getting a wholesome taste of the roles of the team I was in.

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

    • It put into practice my Masters, and gave me experience in the skills I'd been doing there, which will help me bridge the 'qualified no experience' gap in the competitive policy market.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Ambitious people, always happy to share and help, driven, generally conductive.

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

    • Great - I had separate tasks, work lists, reviews, catch ups and development sessions on work skills.

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

    • CV workshops, interview practice, a mentor, a line manager, regular catch ups, linked in and presentation skills, fundraising, external events. For a 12 week scheme it was quite well stocked!

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

    • Subsidised Canteen
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • It varies, but in general being employed into the role you want from the internship is unlikely, and roles in my directorate are open to the normal stiff competition.

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was a weekly social organised by an intern,

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

    • It's London - very, very expensive

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It's London! Stocked but pricey

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

    • Not a huge array of clubs and stuff, but again London has these things locally.
