The Role
Intel is a great place to work, had a really valuable and fun placement - recommend to anyone!
as soon as I had gotten to grips with my day to day responsibilities I took on more and more accounts/projects. If you work hard you will earn
Weekly or monthly 1:1's were provided with constant feedback
Very busy, but I prefer to be busy than bored!
