The Role
A lot! It's been an amazing year. The opportunity to network, travel and work in the EMEA region was amazing
100%. I worked with a team all over EMEA and it felt like they were in the office with me. Even if 100KMs away they were always available
It was my managers first experience of managing people and did a great job of coaching, development and helping me find great projects.
Very! there were times were i was very very busy and some just busy. i never felt bored. This was partly due to me reaching out for stretch assignments.
Increasing amounts
I study international Business and Economics. Being part on an international team was perfect.
