The Role
It was quite good and I would recommend it to other people
I felt valued, but sometimes my work was not recognised or another person took it as their own work.
Not a lot of support or guidance.
I had a lot of various tasks to do on a daily basis, so I had to multitask.
Quite a lot of responsibility which I really liked and appreciated that they trusted me.
It would be more useful for a person with no jobs experience.
The Company
Really quite and boring, sometimes everyone was disappointed and depressed or stressed.
It was fine, but nothing special.
They sent to one employment law seminar (upon my request) but with comments that placement is 'on job' training rather than going to other trainings. So that was the only training I received.
Subsidised Canteen
It seems that there is not any opportunities.
The Culture
I did not have other interns working closely with me.
I lived in a different area.
I lived in a different area.
There were opportunities such as various sports but I did not participate.
