    The Role

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

    • The job was good, but not really suited to me. A better proccess where candidates were asked in depth about what they would like to do would be useful.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • A friendly group of people

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

    • Some supervisors more helpful than others. My main placement supervisor was very good; gave me projects and helped me out.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Just about right, some quiet and busy spots but I imagine this is quite usual

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

    • It was great to be in a placement where I felt I had a large responsibility - makes you feel like you are a valued, equal member of the team

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

    • I do not think my placement will have helped my degree grade and technical knowledge. However I have gained a lot of experience in areas not covered my degree (contractual, suppliers etc.), which I beleive will be extremely useful when I come to getting a full time job.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Plenty of banter

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

    • Very much driven by yourself as the intern, if you want something to happen, you have to go get it. There is no structured 'placement scheme'

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I had the oppertunity to attend several training courses that were financially expensive but benefitted my development greatly

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Financial Bonus
    2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I do not feel my skills are suited to the particular organisation

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • Everyone ate together at lunch and we organised nights out. However this was not the case at some of the locations offered by E.ON

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

    • Fairly normal prices

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

    • Nottingham has a lot of bars and clubs

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

    • Shutdown Games were organised each summer for all staff and contractors at the power station. These were very good but are only about 5 events per year
