    The Company

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

    • People have meetings often therefore a lot of people are not around their desks most of the time. Majority of the people work independently and do not chat or socialise during work.

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

    • No laptop until week 6. Luckily a colleague had a spare one that I could use. Another intern had no password nor laptop for 1.5 weeks so he could not get on with his work. I did not get my workers badge until the 4th day of work.
