    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • There was lots of Mathematics - especially in my second rotation. Overall, the way of approaching problems that you learn on the desk is invaluable.

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Slight ambiguity around headcount and whether or not it exists. Although, they do tend to hire from their internship pool, even if it is not directly at the end of the internship.
