    The Role

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

    • I have never been in a company like this before. You are not only an intern, you feel like a part of the team from the very first day.

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

    • Teamwork is the company's core values. It is not only written but also lived by its employees every day.

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

    • The programme has two areas: Analytics and Sales. In both of them we had both a mentor and a couch that guided us and provided with weekly feedback.

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

    • It is a lot of work. Nonetheless, they are challenging tasks and you know what are is expected from you. I found it quite enriching.

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

    • There were more than 10 projects along the programme. There was even one where our projects where taken by a business manager to a summit in New York. He also wrote a congratulations note to our mentors and managers.

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

    • There were many skills developed during last summer. They are highly valuable as I took a full time offer I will be applying them on a daily basis now.
