    The Role

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

    • Gave me a real flavour of what the job will be like and I experienced things that I could touch on in my final interview

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

    • Trainees were especially welcoming and joined us for all of our entertainment activities

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

    • No question was left unanswered and the 2 weeks was very well organised

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

    • We had a project to complete over the two weeks so when work from our supervisor dried up, we always had something to do

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

    • Not a lot but as a 2 week intern I definitely didn't expect (or want!) much

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

    • As it was only a short internship, it was more about the experience itself for me, than for developing transferrable skills. However, the insight it gave me into what the job will be like was definitely invaluable

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Hardworking in the office but everyone from trainees to partners willing to introduce themselves to you and have a chat to you and make you feel welcome

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

    • No complaints at all, worked like clockwork!

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

    • As it was only a two week scheme, it felt more like a recruitment tool rather than a training scheme, but that's definitely what I was expecting

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very appealing!

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • We all got on well and am in frequent touch with a handful

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

    • Central London was expensive, but that's to be expected, and we were treated to food and drinks on the scheme!

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

    • Central London-where can you get more choice?!

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

    • Not really, but when you're only there for two weeks, it's not like you can expect to become part of the firm

    1/5
