    • It really was perfect balance.

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

    • I would say perfect responsibility. Obviously, as an intern it won't be the wisest move to be given all the responsibility of the "show", since I am not professional yet; I would say that i was given a wisely chosen project to work on that not only helped me grow more professionally in knowledge and experience, but also later this project benefited the team without affecting their current dynamic (and quite deadline-tight ) work flow . The project required responsibility on its own, but not to the point of risking the performance of the whole team work. Rather it was a set aside responsibility that didn't cross with the team duties over the internship period, but later it was used to aid the speed of the team work performance.

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Very enjoyable and welcome really. :)

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • It was OK. Maybe not super cheap, but there are supermarkets around , plus a lot of kitchen areas in the company's building, so you can cook for yourself during lunch break and it will be cheap. However, when it comes to socialising- restaurant around tend to be a bit more expensive.

    4/5

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
