  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Everyone has strengths and weakness but the team acts as one, a single mechanism that is well determine to solve any problem that might occurred. By the end of the placement I've managed to master a few areas in which some of my colleagues having more experience than me were seeking my advice.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • This experience can't really be compared with anything. I have probably learnt more in 10 months during the placement than in two years of study. I've learnt and improved so many skills that I can't list them all, from soft skills to technical skills. It is one of the best things ever happened to me and I've managed to build a solid foundation

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • We had several events and the interns group is quite tight. The social experience is very good and I made acquaintance with other interns that made me aware of other areas of the business.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • This is Cambridge and the living cost is quite high but you can afford to go out and socialise with people. The experience gathered during your placement cant't be compared to anything and I truly think one should get his/her priorities straight.

    5/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I'm not a big fan of the outings but I went several times with my colleagues. Cam is fun and theres a lot of places to go to.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Team ARM is one of them.
