    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Environments are different depending on department. However, marketing was generally a fun place to work with nice people.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I think the process overall was fairly well set up. Intel hire many interns every year so the process is tried and tested. In my experience I was the first intern for my position in the UK. I therefore didn't really have a handover as my predecessor was based in Germany.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There were several compulsory training courses at the start. However, you are able to take on further training on areas that may interest you (assuming there is demand to make it worthwhile).
