    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Team of young people, the atmosphere is very positive and relaxed.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • At the beginning, I felt confused by such a big structure but now everything is under control.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • What I've learned are more "human skills" than technical skills. I learned the technical skills at university (like how to use an NRM, a HPLC etc.) At Pfizer I learned more about how to be a good manager, team working, be more confident.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
