    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • The work was very enjoyable and project work was varied.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I feel that my colleagues held us in the same regards as those who were under full-time employment/graduates, which meant we had to assume the same level of responsibility.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Support and guidance was in abundance during the internship. At first, you are linked with a 'buddy' who tends to be at the 'Associate' level, so that there is some close to your professional level whom you can rely upon for more informal support. There will also be a People Manager who will professionally manage your time, expectations and progression during the internship. You will also most likely have a Manager/Director/Partner on your client project team who will be more of a day-today contact and point of support, especially during office hours.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Depending on the project to which you are assigned, the amount of work which you will undertake and the scope of this will vary. Personally, I found there to be highs and lows in regards to work flow, which is to be expected given the nature of the project which I was on. Teams which are smaller tend to be more suited to taking on larger amounts of work per day, however, larger, more corporate teams tend to offer less regular work.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • As the work load varied with project, so did the responsibility. Generally, there is the expectation for work to be done to the highest standard possible, with the caveat that all interns will be new to the nature of work and are not expected to have any prior experience.

    3/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The training and skills developed would be most useful to academic life in a wider sense. For example, skills such as organisation, work ethic and multi-tasking will be useful when studying for my degree as well as in later life.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The atmosphere in the office is very laid back and comfortable, with everyone left to work as they see fit.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The work placement seemed well organised and put together.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The firm allows us access to all the development workshops that their regular employees have access to. Along with the availability to onlike workshops, the amount of training and development opportunities is endless and limited only by your effort and time.

    5/5

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

    Travel loan

    3/5

  • 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?
  • Yes, lots of socials were organised, both at the start of the internship and throughout

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Very expensive, but down to being in the city centre.

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • City is very expensive but good!

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Many opportunities, being included on the mailing list gives opportunity to get involved with more than you could possibly have time for.
