    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • There are quite often team building activities, they are not compulsory, however its really helpful in the beginning to meet everyone in the team informally My team invites me to lunch quite often, sometimes its just picking up some food in the mall, or on the canteen.

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

    • There are mid term review and end of term review where your manager will give 3 strengths and 3 weakness to you. Its really helpful to see whether you are on track or not. My team is super nice and always provided me feedback on pieces of work I did, making sure I understand and know what to do next.

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

    • I got assigned with some tasks to be completed by the end of internship, so not really busy daily. However, my another role is to assist with my team on ad-hoc request, so that depends on the volume.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was expected to do the internship projects and also taking up the full time employee role in the office. I was dealing with real time ad-hoc case just like other people in my team.

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

    • I got a valuable insight of the area I work on during the internship. Apart from the technical side, theres a lot soft skills involved and I am sure this will help in all ways anyways.
