    The Company

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It could have been run better as to give interns a bit more insight and experience. some things where not followed such as the reviews and referrals process, other things such as time sheets and holidays were also a pain, for example my line manager was on holiday for two weeks meaning that i wasn't paid on time for two weeks wasn't very nice.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was given a couple of tutorials by a colleague with regards to a new management system, i was also given the chance to set up an account with them. Another good thing was the use of the groups online self learning resources.
