    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

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

    • My manager and supervisor were usually extremely busy and hence I was really reluctant in asking for guidance. However, they always made a point that I should not be afraid to ask for help. Additionally, no training was given, hence it took a while until I got a hold of their software infrastructure.

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

    • The beginning of the internship involved independent study, I was only given task towards the last few weeks and it was a slow progress due to busy workers.

    The Company

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

    • Everyone in my team were really friendly, and as a whole the offices had a very comfortable environment. No strict dress code. I never met a single person who was rude or unhelpful.

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

    • Aside from the individual role organisation whom managers had to organise, the overall internship was extremely well thought out, very innovative and fun.

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

    • In terms of the individual role I did not receive any personal training. But, aside from that work, we also had to dedicate 20% of our time for a team project, which ended in a dragons den presentation. For that, the firm invested in us by hiring 2 effective professional public speakers. Both were extremely useful and insightful, full of energy and put effort into getting to know us as individuals.
