    • Fantastic opportunity, learnt a lot. Hard work though and different experiences depending on which teams you are assigned to work with.

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

    • This varied quite a bit, depending on who you're working with. People generally willing to trust you with responsibility and take time to explain things to you.

    • Some days busier than others. Depends on the team and workload.

    4/5

    • Limits on the amount of responsibility you can be given given confidentiality of a lot of the work, though in general responsibility level was high.

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

    • Haven't continued with my studies following the internship yet, though I think skills learnt were invaluable. Particularly personable skills and presentation.
