    The Role

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

    • Great fun, really enjoyed my project. The set up by HR department worked well and there was plenty of other interns so socials were great!

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

    • It was amazing, there was one week where most of them left for Angola and I felt lost!

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

    • He was really good; although clearly very busy I was always able to talk to himabout any problems I was having.

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

    • Fairly busy, although not like a headless chicken. It varied from week to week depending on my project but I had the perfect amount of time available.

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

    • I was incharge of an entire project, although the project itself only made a small amount of difference to working practices the people involved made it clear how important it was in the long term.

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

    • It was very handy, not only in the technical aspects of learning computer programming properly but having never worked in a office previously the experience was definitely worthwhile.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Really good, people were very busy at times but there were a number of socials arranged which allowed everyone to unwind.

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

    • It was really well set up, having been posted to London over the Olympics they helped out with accommodation which was priceless, everything was set up for me as I arrived, so much so that I turned up to the office and my laptop was waiting for me ready to log in.

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

    • Due to how busy I was with my project there wasn't a huge amount of time to visit other sites or attend extra training although some other interns did. Any development that I needed for my work was catered for though.

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

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Really good, I have an assessment centre tomorrow so fingers crossed!

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There was a really good social aspect to the internship, organised by the interns aswell. Certain events were organised centrally aswell so this was very welcome.

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

    • London's pretty expensive and although we were in Halls they were in Kensington so that made things pretty pricey.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • In Sunbury (where the office is) the nightlife is pretty well non-existant although we were living a little further into London so it was a little better.

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

    • There was a load of stuff going on, such as dragon boat racing, sports days, socials, sports clubs etc

    5/5
