    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I enjoyed the role I was given (not a consultant) and it was challenging. It was good getting experience working to deadlines, speaking to candidates/clients and managing a heavy workload. There were times where it became a bit stale however, and there wasn't much variety to the tasks I was doing. I feel as an intern I could have been invited to more learning experiences such as client meetings and candidate registrations, sent on more training and learning courses and helped to grow more as an intern should.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I felt very valued as I knew my role was very helpful to the team. However, as a non fee-earner, I often felt my role wasn't as valued by the company as a whole compared to everybody else and I was more expendable.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My manager was extremely supportive and keen to help me learn and do the best I could in my role.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • There were days where I didn't have time to breathe, but also the occasional day where my tasks would slow right down. Busy more often than not though.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a lot of responsibility over my own work management and tasks, but in terms of anything beyond that, there wasn't much scope for it.

    3/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I have learnt a lot of administrative skills and developed my professionalism, ability to conduct myself and general insight in to the business world. I'm sure it is a great stepping stone to the future of my career.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Within the first few months it was great. But towards the end of the year a lot of people did begin to leave, the rewards and incentives slowed down and people were pushed to work very hard. It didn't affect me personally but in terms of office atmosphere it was very obvious.

    3/5

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

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I was sent on two training courses during my internship. I feel there should have been more training devoted to people who aren't consultants.

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I was offered to stay on after my internship ended which was good. The pay and perks were OK... Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much in the way of career progression for people who aren't consultants however.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • There weren't any other placement 西瓜视频s but in terms of normal colleagues, the social aspects were excellent. Everyone was friendly, easy to get along with.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • The area is extremely expensive!

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Decent enough.

    4/5
