    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I felt very valued especially as only 23 people were picked. I was expecting a large amount of people to have been picked. The company looked after me very well and gave great advice on actually getting a future job or internship there.

    5/5
