    The Role

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

    • Some tasks can be mundane as expected but the majority of stuff is interesting and other teams try and get you involved with their work too.

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

    • Everyone cares about you and for such a big company it is extremely friendly

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • They ask you what you want to do and what you want to get out of it. I know I can email my boss or speak to them whenever I need to and they will try to help as best they can.

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

    • It totally depends on the day. Some days I have very little to do as I am waiting for other people to get back to me and some days I have plenty. I never have too much though.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • My own personal projects have given me loads of responsibility. One job includes me going to different places on my own to conduct tests which I find really great as it feels like my own piece of work.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Not so much technical detail. But just generally working in a business and understanding how they operate. Speaking with clients and writing emails have become the norm now which is helpful in any job I get in the future.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Sometimes there is very few people there so it can be a bit quiet however when there is it's absolutely fine.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • They have a plan and quarterly reviews and my boss was excellent at organising relevant training before I got there so I could get stuck in straight away. Others boss' haven't been so great at though so it's just a bit of luck.

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

    • There's plenty of opportunity to go on courses and they want you to get just as much out of it as they do which is great. Other companies expect you to just do work for them with little things for you to learn.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    National Travel
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • There are a lot of people there that did a year in industry and continued working there.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • They set up a Facebook group so I was able to interact with people and found flatmates which was great as I was moving to a city where I didn't know anyone

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

    • Fairly cheap and a uni city.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Really good

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Not really the only downside I the majority of people working there are above 40.
