The Role
I enjoyed the experience thoroughly, mainly due to the high level of training and the valuable learning process.
Colleagues were very welcoming and most of them very supportive.
My supervisors were very happy to answer questions.
Probably too busy, given the long hours
Responsibility to finish work within deadlines, but overall nothing too important.
In my degree studies the skills will probably not be of use. However, in my future career they will be very useful.
The Company
The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly
Excellent organisation.
The training was also organised at very high level.
Great environment and interesting work but long hours
The Culture
Very friendly environment
Expensive area.
What nightlife?
No time for such activities
