    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • It was the most rewarding but certainly the most tiring three weeks of my life.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Everyone at Nabarro makes you feel welcome

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • 5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • The corporate department is transactional anyway, and so permanent staff were not necessarily always busy. The good thing at Nabarro is that if department work is low, there is always Project Nabarro to keep you busy!

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Everything is checked and you are always under guidance, but you certainly do not feel like you are being baby sit.

    The Culture
