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

    • 4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • By working in so many departments I was given a broad overview of how a business like this works. I will definitely be able to apply what I've learnt both back at Uni and when I leave and look for my first full time job.
