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

    • Being in Infrastructure the role needs you to have administrator rights to complete your day to day tasks. I never throught I would have this much responsibility so early on in a placement job.

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

    • Working at PepsiCo has helped me apply what I have learnt at Uni so far to real life situations. The team work, organisational and communication skills that have been improved on this year will always be useful in the future.
