    The Role

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

    • Not very much. Was not placed in the location I had asked for. Was not in the area I had asked for. I didn't find the atmosphere to be very motivating.

    1/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I didn't really meet people until week 5. But when I did people were reasonably nice. But other teams were a lot more friendly from what I understand.
