Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Quite a lot! I received training from the intern programme on key skills and was given the opportunity to reflect on this in my day-to-day job as well as in the group project I was tasked with as part of the intern programme.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Brilliant! I only worked from home, but I feel like I made a really meaningful connection with the teams I worked with. The vast majority of people are friendly and always there to help if you have any questions or queries. The company, in general, has really good morals that are clearly not just for show as it is reflected in day-to-day business.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I really enjoyed my placement despite it being completely remote. Although I worked from my bedroom, I feel as though I learned a lot and networked with loads of people that I am still in contact with now. I would strongly recommend a placement with Eaton, but you have to be prepared to work hard and put yourself out there.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Eaton to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Eaton
Don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe in, it is a culture where you are heard and listened to. That may not always mean you are right, but most often than not you will learn from peers' feedback. Do your research about the company too. Without sounding too cringe, just be yourself.
