    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was given a lot of support and guidance through my managers. We had regular 1-1catch ups and reviews of my progress throughout the year. My managers were enthusiastic about me getting the most out of my placement which lead to being sponsored to do a NATS based project for my final year dissertation when back at university.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I had a suitable amount of workload, enough to keep my busy but not too much so that I was drowning in it. I had my own projects and responsibilities so that I could come into work and crack on everyday without any guidance or supervision.

    4/5

  • I re-designed the Document Management System on SharePoint, implementing skills which were new to the myself, ultimately changing fundamental working practices of the company.
