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

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

    • Ability to quickly adapt to a completely new work environment, and to learn a previously unknown programming language will be very useful. Oh, and the ability to schedule meetings between three different time zones and continents :)
