    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • Unfortunately some personal issues occurred during the internship, but the programme itself is great. The equity programme however seemed to be more intense than others, and as pointed out by some company employees, in a way also more intense than the actual job. It is an incredible learning experience, but very tough mentally.
