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

    • I was told from the beginning that what I was about to do will be very helpful for the team, so I knew from then that I had quite a lot of responsibility, which I enjoyed and thrived on.

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

    • I've learned a lot of new technologies (including a new programming language from scratch) which I'm sure I'll be using a lot in the future.

    • Very much so, from the trainings at the beginning to all the events throughout the internship.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The first two weeks were entirely for training, I was assigned a personal mentor I could ask any questions I had, so I'd say the firm invested quite a lot of time and resources to train us.
