The Role
Very much! This internship has so much to offer!
They will ask my opinion during discussion even I'm just an intern. I really feel valued.
Everyone is very willing to help. They always give me helpful contacts or websites.
To be honest, I'm not very busy. I was never asked to work overtime.
I was entirely responsible for a project and take much responsibility of other projects.
I enhanced not only technical skills like excel, but also soft skills like teamwork and communication.
The Company
Great! It does make people feel nervous or stressed at all. Almost everyone I receive an email from someone saying that he/she brings cake/sweets and everyone is welcomed to take some.
Well organised. Every Monday I receive email reminding me of the events that are going to happen this week.
I took some helpful trainings on-line. There are a lot of good resources.
