    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

    • I received tremendous amount of support from literally everyone on the team. My buddy was always there for me whenever I needed help and our staffer always called us to check up on us. I also received much support from the team for my intern project. People on the team not only reduced my workload the day before my project deadline but also had 1-2 hrs long call with me despite their busy schedule to answer my questions regarding my project. They were beyond helpful.

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Team wise, everyone is super friendly and despite the virtual environment, they try their best to give us clear instructions for work by always calling us to explain before asking us to do anything.
