    The Role

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

    • Enjoyable work and very nice office to work in. Lots of other interns and graduates so there's lots of fun to be had.

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

    • They were very welcoming and helpful throughout the internship and were always willing to give up time at some point to help me out. However, I always got the impression that there were much more important things to do.

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

    • Really good support throughout the placement. Great technical support from my supervisor and regulr meetings with my line manager. HR also readily available for resolving problems.

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

    • Very busy when deadlines were approaching and at the start of the placement when there was a steep learning curve. Quite quiet at other times when I had finished work and moved on.

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

    • The work needed to be done but didn't seem important enough for anyone else to want to do it. Had a minor impact on decision making in the furture.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Really great learning experience. Learnt more on the placement than I have in dedicated courses at university.

    4/5

    • Generally quiet open plan office - plenty of spaces to chat though.

    3/5

    • Very well organised all through the application process and placement. Had a work plan set out for me with clear aims and objectives.

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

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

    • I am hoping to get a graduate position with them for september 2014 but haven't heard yet. The internship route seems to be one of the best ways to get a graduate position.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Intern and graduate social committee for organising events. All the other interns were really friendly and we often went for lunch and drinks together.

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

    • I lived at home to save money so I'm not sure. I heard that it wasn't cheap because it was in London but you do get an allowance. Nights out were fairly expensive because it was London.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London suburbs were not that great but there was always the option of a quick train journey into the centre.

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

    • Yes - I played 5-a-side football every monday night and there were plenty of other activities available.

    4/5
