The Role
Great place to work, managers that are always ready to help and advise, a lot of responsibility given
Colleagues ask for my advice, assign important tasks to me and are friendly
Very satisfied with support given by managers - they always try to challenge me but at the same time keep work-life balance reasonable
Sometimes very busy sometimes less...anyway it taught me to prioritise and manage time better
I was given as much responsibiility as other full time employees, and my opinions were as valuable as theirs.
I have definitely developed skills that will be useful in my final year at university. Analytical and presentations skills, stakeholder management and team work - all will be utilised back at university.
The Company
Exactly! A great team that could balance fun and work achieven excellent results.
Overall, very well apart from a couple of minor things that I already dont remeber now.
I attanded various trainings, spent a lot of time with diferent stakeholders and my managers and went on business trip. Company has invested in me as mush as I could imagine.
