    The Role

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

    • Good to get an insight into the industry. First experience of Engineering outside of Uni so interesting.

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

    • My work was actually being used to help the project, some projects not so "real" though according to other interns.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Supervisor was very helpful day-to-day but only 3 meetings with my supervisor and mentor never contacted me.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Seemed to be either overwhelmed with work (which was good, kept me busy) or had very little to do. Work came in swarms.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • My work could have been done by someone else, it was more to help me learn. It was reviewed after submission to be checked over but no changes were made.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Definitely helpful to develop skills by working in industry but not much technical skills developed.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Good banter although I was in a project office, the main office is a bit more uptight.

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

    • Lots of events organised by HR and move into the company was seamless. Very structured system.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Went to various site visits but training offered was almost all optional on-line modules. Helpful though. Also offered presentation skills training.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Started off really fun but slowed a bit after the first month. Out every weekend with other interns/grads.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Expensive, internship was paid so didn't feel too bad about spending though.

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

    • Few clubs but enough people around to make it a good laugh most nights.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Mostly organised by interns but still stuff going on every weekend, went go-karting and clay-pigeon shooting which were fun.
