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

HR at MUFG were particularly, they organised Lunch and Learn sessions with different senior members throughout the organisation which was great as it gave the interns an insight into the career paths of senior staff. Additionally, there were frequent networking events of dinner and drinks throughout the 10 weeks.
