The Role
It is very enjoyable, apart from doing your job and getting to know a lot of people, there are also a lot of other things you can take part in such as Star Wars day, the staff forum which was hold every year. It was amazing to be part of the company.
Very, there are certain tasks in the beginning in which I need to complete, however eventually I am given more responsibilities once I am more familiar with my job, which is good as it allows me to enhance my problem solving skills.
Everyone within the department is very supportive and very helpful, they are willing to answer your questions when you are struggling, it was fun to be part of the team.
It varies, there are certain period of time can be more busy than usual, but sometimes it could be quite quiet,
In the beginning, there is a set of responsibilities I need to complete, eventually I am given more as I am more confident with completing my daily tasks.
I have applied to a role which is not really related to my degree, however I am allowed to take part in other projects and I have developed a lot other things such as business and communication skills.
The Company
Very friendly, people from different department will work together and encourages you if you do something well.
It was very good, there are induction day and meetings with different departments to prepare my internship, There are a lot of interns working in the company so staff are very aware and willing to help all the time.
Quite a bit, I have received training for two weeks in the beginning and I have got a lot of documentation I could following to complete my daily tasks.
