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

    • Extremely good support system; you get a buddy who is someone who joined the firm recently to ask questions before you start and help you out during the internship, you then get a counselling manager who you meet with every couple of weeks and can go to with any problems. You also get regular contact with Managers and HR.
