    The Role

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

    • Really enjoyed my placement year at Intel. With their being a substantial amount of interns it was good for sharing experiences and for settling in. Work culture is relaxed and you are left to get on with your job once you have received training, but help is available when required.

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

    • Supervisor was excellent and was always on hand to answer any question I had. I had also had weekly meetings with my supervisor and bi-weekly meetings to help progress and maintain a good standard of work.

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

    • Majority of the time I would be working for the majority of the day to get tasks done. Obviously there were peaks and troughs were work was extremely busy or quiet but generally workload was about right.
