    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I felt immensely well valued and treated by my colleagues who would entrust me with some of their most urgent and attention pending cases.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My manager/ supervisor did support me greatly in my daily work, however, I felt a lack of general guidance when it came to acquiring specific skills, learning and developmnt or long term plans.

    3/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was rather busy throughout the day, making sure that I met customer and/ or internal deadlines and finish my pending tasks at the highest speed possible.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • As mentioned earlier, one of the biggest advantages of my internship was the level of trust which was shown to me as an intern.

    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 cannot say that the skills I developed would assist me in my degree, but perhaps to some extent will help me in my future career. Nevertheless, I believe that most of the skills I have acquired are rather Verizon-specific and cannot be widely applied.

    2/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The office environment itself was rather blant, as there is a high amount of people who prefer to work from home and the average age of the workers is also rather high. Moreover, people who are in the office often times are more focused on work than personal interaction.

  • It was extremely well-organized, with the internship objective and tasks clearly provided to me from early on.
