    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My role required to be quite self sufficient as my team is mostly working remotely. However there was always someone I could reach iut to for help and advise

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • The majority of the time I had to deal with a high workload which was because I challenged myself to get involved as much as possible... there was always plenty to do to ever be bored

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I have been taken the lead for three projects and was dealing with senior stakeholders sometimes on a weekly basis. My friends and family were surprised how much my role was as if I was a permanent employee rather than an internship.

    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 have never learnt so much and gained so much confidence in a year before and it makes me ahead if the game when applying to grad schemes

    5/5

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • We had to restructure my team due to global changes but my manager ensured that we were aware and working together to make the change as smooth as possible. Great handover

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
