    The Role

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

    • This was my first real job and I was very happy with it.

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

    • One thing I really enjoyed about Metaswitch was the work enviornment. Everyone was very friendly. I also feel that my boss gave me interesting work that he needed to get done, not trivial stuff.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I had a lot of support. He sometimes didn't give me a lot of guidance, but I think this was great because I had to learn a lot on my own. I think this gave me a valuable oppourtunity to really pick up on some new skills. If he would have just told me how to do everything, I wouldn't have learned as much.

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

    • I usually had the right amount to do. Sometimes I had a little free time, but this was good. It would have been tough if I was working for every minute I could during the day.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Obviously for an intern I wasn't doing the more important work, but I everything I did do carried weight. I never got the feeling that my boss was giving me work just to keep me busy. Everything I did had a purpose.

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