    The Role

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

    • The company have a lot of projects, where almost everyone can find that fits them, and i enjoy the business related not so dry parts too, but it needs some learning about it, but it is interesting to think out of the box.

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

    • The groups always make interpersonal tests too, and they search people who fits in it, so if you are in, you will probably like them.

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

    • There are a lot of standards to follow, so nobody can make an unwanted issue too easy, but this is a good thing in this place.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • There are a lot of in-house trainings which you can sign on, and the company has an easy to use online learning page too. I have learned a new scripting language 2 month ago on a training, and i have language lessons too which is very good i think.
