Overview
I carry out good manufacture practice (GMP) work on drug products. I support investigation/method development works. I perform a 3 mn student project in a different area. I join/lead team meetings. I am given time for university work and personal development.
Skills
I've developed ability to perform chemical analysis under a more stringent GMP requirement. I've learnt about new technics. I've also explored my other interest through an internal academy.
Responsibilities
I was given opportunities to perform independent analysis, carry out my project almost independently and I was also able to lead meetings.
Support & Guidance
I had bi-weekly catchups with my supervisor and my colleagues were very helpful and friendly. My manager was also very supportive and trusting. I have also got extensive guidance and training.
Culture
Friendly and good work-life balance.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed it and it was very great in terms of how they support this placement opportunity. But I also found out that this is not my interest and will probably not continue in this industry. Therefore I also lost a little bit of motivation. But this does not mean that I don't appreciate this opportunity.
Yes
Come prepared with the value questions.
