The Role
Feeling part of the team and being given real, meaningful work really enhances the internship experience.
The extent to which my colleagues valued me very much depended on the quality of work that I produced, the two were very much correlated.
Mid-term review was extremely useful in adjusting expectations and providing critical feedback to improve prior to the final assessment.
There were times when I was very busy, but other times when there were chances to meet different people and read up about the sector that I was in.
The level of responsibility I was given very much depended on the quality of work that I produced, the two were very much correlated.
Learning to be part of a team in a global organization will always be important
