    The Role

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

    • It was great, good start with ice-breakers and good pressure from day to day.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • As said above, the icebreakers were good and the other interns were fun and sociable so everything was great.

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

    • Support and guidance was great. Though different wording for the challenges (lego ones) would be appreciated as I found them confusing.

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

    • Good, though maybe one or more morning calls would be good, just to give a better feeling of the work/free time load.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • A project to manege or something, though I do not see much time to deal with that if the week was supposed to be organised like that.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Improved understanding of the industry and life in it. Good heads up of the life ahead :D
