    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I managed to see a whole variety of interesting work and everyday was different. The process was very well run and definitely better than I had imagined.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was welcomed into the team and felt like I was one of the associates. I could see the work that I was doing actually mattered and how it helped the more senior colleagues.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • There was lots of advice from my people manager and buddy on targets for my internship. I also had lots of advice from other members of the team.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Most days were very busy, which is unusual for the summer. Sometimes work was piled on very quickly at the last minute, but this was the nature of being the most junior member of the team.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I had been given some responsibilities in making first drafts of reports and making powerpoint presentations. Some research that I did was to be used by more senior people. For my knowledge of the subject, I was given a lot of responsibility.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • My degree is very closely linked to the work that I had been doing, so very useful in that sense. These skills will undoubtedly be used in my professional career and will help in my future career.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Everyone was very hard working when there was some pressure to get stuff done, but quite relaxed when deadlines weren't looming. It was friendly and everyone was prepared to help!

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very well organised. Other than some minor IT problems everything else ran smoothly.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The whole of the first week was full of induction training and it was very clear that the company had invested lots of money into the internship program.

    5/5

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