The Role
I have enjoy my placement very much, the team is dynamic and very supportive, you won't feel alienated here and there's a lot of events to help you to integrate with the workflow and the team.
My colleague is very willing to spend their valuable time to help and guide me with my work if I ever require any assistance.
My supervisor has been very helpful, the support provided is adequate for you to get up to speed quickly.
I am in general busy, but still have time to do some sports or board games with friends during lunch time.
I was given important responsibility to investigate an important aspect of a project since the very beginning.
The exposure is definitely very valuable, you probably can't get a good overview of the industry otherwise. All the technical skills and soft skills I obtained will be very transferable for other applications or avenues to come.
