    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was always busy and never had a moment when there was nothing for me to do. There is always something to do for interns, whether it is project or non-project related work.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I can't say I was given lots of responsibility, but this is purely because I was inexperienced and most of the time lacked knowledge and skills. But, my team was always good at giving me as much responsibility as they could.

    • Worked in Canary Wharf, its quite good with nightlife, there's bars and restaurants around.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There's lots of opportunities. Shame you do get a chance to try them a lot, as there is limited time. You need to balance project related work and other opportunities.
