    The Role

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

    • It varies depending on the weeks, and it is up to you as well. If you work on your project, talk to people and network you end up being very busy.

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

    • My project answered a real business need, so that's enough respponsibility for an intern.

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

    • I learned a lot, and about such a wide range of products. There's a big gap between the theory you learn in textbooks and reality, and this experience helped me fill this gap. I have a much better understanding of some products now.
